#3The podcast mentioned in the article is excellent. I think the HN crowd would really enjoy listening.

#6It's about time. I love this blog but stopped reading it when they went to the NYT and stopped providing a full RSS feed. That was years ago!

I did the same. They also started pumping out too much content and added too many additional authors. I loved reading their blog posts, but it became work to keep up with everything.

YES. This is one of numerous sites that I love that I flat-out don't read because of a lack of full-text RSS.

It could be that the business model is less suited to correspondents who have their own brand. Bringing the this particular blog into the NYT fold probably helped both a little but I am betting that the ongoing costs to the Freakonomics brand were getting to be a bit much (e.g. myself and probably thousands of others who dropped the freakonomics blog when the stopped providing full RSS feeds.)

#10Didn't anybody tell these guys that economics is boring? You can't sell many books about that. Or a DVD (available today).
Inspiring to me.
