Almost two years ago, the feminist writer Irin Carmon wrote an insightful piece for Jezebel titled "The Daily Show's Woman Problem." She soon paid a price.

For having the audacity to call out liberal Shibboleth Jon Stewart about The Daily Shows Mad Men-era gender hiring practices, Carmon became the target of an all-out Internet flame war. As often is the case with these things, the ad hominem attacks went way beyond her theme or even her writing ability, and straight to her viability as a human life form breathing precious air. You know how the Interwebz do.

So when Carmon notes that Internet flame wars arent necessarily a bad thing, you can bet shes given it some thought.

Some writers drop flame bait, others just constantly "troll." Either way, there's a deliberate pushing of buttons for the purpose of causing outrage and attracting attention. Though construed as useless, time-consuming and distracting, in the not-so-humble opinions of many, this behavior can also be a force for good, Carmon argues.

First and foremost, they sometimes open up a space for a conversation that might not have occurred otherwise.

In Carmon's Daily Show piece, she noted that the Comedy Central showcase has a nearly all-male, on-air staff. With the exception of Samantha Bee, the then-recent hire of Olivia Munn was the first new female correspondent in seven years. As fiercely liberal and sharp-eyed an observer as Jon Stewart can be, getting women on the air may be his major blind spot, she wrote.

At South by Southwest Interactive, Carmon led a panel extolling the virtues of Internet rage, while noting the downsides. Titled Curing a Rage Headache: Internet Drama & Activism, Carmon and other media members, each of whom has been involved in their own popcorn-passing drama in virtual space, discussed how the attention generated by thousands of angry, irrational and completely engaged Internet users posting vicious comments can lead not just to indigestion, but also to positive change.

I am tired of watching racism, sexism, patriarchism and religious bigotry going unchecked, Carmon said. Then she brought up Rush Limbaugh.

Research and Markets: Internet Services - Global Outlook

Internet music service Rdio.com on Tuesday unveiled a redesign intended to make it "faster, simpler and more social" as it battles with rivals such as Pandora and Spotify.

Rdio also announced that its music catalogue has grown to more than 15 million songs.

Rdio was created by Skype founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis and the subscription-based advertising-free service was opened to the public in August 2010.

"We've made Rdio bigger and better with new features that really make discovery fun," vice president of product Malthe Sigurdsson said in a release.

"This is more than just a redesign; the new Rdio transforms the boring, spreadsheet-like way of consuming digital music into something visual and dynamic."

Social features include being able to share music with friends by email or at social networks Facebook or Twitter.

The revamped service was rolled out on Tuesday in Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, New Zealand and the United States.

Rdio charges $10 monthly for an "unlimited" subscription that lets music be streamed to someone's Internet-linked computers and mobile gadgets.

Rdio is vying for fans in a streaming music arena that has proven to be a tough place to make money.

That fact has not deterred competitors, with Europe-based Spotify bursting into the US market last year and Internet titan Google fine tuning its online music offerings.
