What sucked about PointCast is that the beast itself needed broadband to work decently, whilst its best market was just coming to grips with 56K. The (presumed) added benefit now, is that Google's propeller heads have developed the algorithm that "knows" when you want those $100 tickets to Cozumel. So, in theory, "push" today is a two-way benefit, not just for the seller. It's helpful to rip out a couple chapters of Heinlein, a couple chapters of Orwell, toss the pages up in the air, gather them into a binder and read it as a single book.
