Ads in RSS

[Julian Bond <julian@netmarketseurope.com>]

http://blackholebrain.editthispage.com/2001/03/13 ...anyone doing RSS
banner ads yet?

I'm a bit uncomfortable with the appearance of graphics links embedded
in the 'description' field of RSS. And now BlackHoleBrain suggest this.
As I read it, I just know it's going to happen, and I think it's BAD,
BAD, BAD! Imagine scanning through the Moreover Vertical Portals feed in
your favourite headline viewer, and item 8 is a rolling animated LINE56
banner for their next conference.

There's a horrible inevitability about this. Even if we hadn't mentioned
it, somebody was going to think of it.

I suspect there's some other potential link between banners and RSS, but
I can't quite see what it is yet.
