Expect Resistance & Library Autonomous Zone

ongoing - Moveable Text
This story by Tim Bray uses a feature of the RSS newsreading software NetNewsWire that will show you the differences in successive revisions of a story posted with RSS. Bray has a couple of examples of stories as they changed
in online postings from the New York Times. The examples are facinating. Bray concludes that “itÕs going to be toughÑmaybe impossibleÑto keep your edits to yourself.” The flip side of that question, of course, is, “will anyone preserve the different versions?” Certainly not the producers! Yet another job for libraries.
