RSS And Advertising: A Difficult Marriage, Unless...

In good substance, Jeff Jarvis, calls for means and ways to make RSS newsfeeds more accountable, more easily audited, in a clear and honest effort to adapt to these content distribution technology, with the same accounting devices and paraphernalia built-in the traditional mass media ad business.

(I sincerely wish this may serve as a spark for greater and open-sided discussion.)
