A voluntary profession, a Halfcrier will print out a list of the day's new inventions on the 1/2 Bakery, take it to the window of his/her house, and shout it at all who pass like a crude and probably unwanted RSS feed.
Selfmade bullhorns and costumes are appreciated. Near perfect grammar encouraged,
but for the sake of realism, not required.

Why limit this to the Halfbakery? I am sure there are dozens of blogs out there that would benefit from this approach. |

<nemesis>I would take up this position and use it to infiltrate your desmegne, notmarkflynn, if it wasn't such an easy thing to do, and such a stupid idea.</nemesis> |

I do hope you're actually yelling that, [zen_tom]. |

London still has an official town crier (a friend of mine got to work with him when he was temping and his agency got him mixed up with a professional clown... long story), maybe we should get in touch. |

[+] partly for knowing about RSS. It's a technology that most people could benefit from, and that most news or UGC-centric websites offer, but that hardly anybody knows about. |

+ 2021 and we are still here! |

Sorry to have to tell you this, but you're not. Most of the halfbakers (except us) were replaced by bots during The Great Outage of 2018. |

You're just a simulation now, but try to look on it as an opportunity. |
|

We knew you were going to write that ... |

Can't believe I hadn't bunned this before, what a dummo. |

That's a relief. I thought it was just me. |
