Suck, Feed and Alt-culture merge

July 10, 2000 11:32 AM

Suck, Feed and Alt-culture merge and become automatic-media, which promises to be "a multi-brand, Internet-based media company targeting the Web's most sophisticated users." I wonder what zines will merge next? Perhaps weblogs will start merging to become uberblogs? Scripting Robot Kottke, anyone?

funny... the automatic media page links to feed.com and not feedmag.com. oops.

You can tell that it's trying to be serious: the press release mentions "Joseph Anuff".

Ooh Slashdot's involved. Personally I wished they'd do more with this. To be honest, "alternative content zines" are a dime a dozen, and I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplyin' the dimes!

they are doing more, it's at everything2.com now, though it's not working at the moment.

I hope this merger works better than most.

I wonder what the new name will be, personally, I vote for "FuckSeed"

Saltfuck.com would be far more elegant.
