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. |

And how do you propose they do that? |

I would like to do it, but in my little New England city, I'm sure no passersby would understand the reference. |

I suppose we would all use electromagnets and theoretical physics, or just roll the day's newspaper into a cone. |

[+] 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. |

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. |
