News Aggregator: did you notice I finally decided to play around with the streaming news feature in Dave Winer's Radio product (we edit www.gulker.com with Radio)? The bad part is the headlines from other sources dilute the 'voice' of a given observer. The good part is that a skillful editor can weave a more convincing presentation from many sources. Radio really offers everything (actually more than everything - Radio has the source blogs where journalists go for story ideas) that a modern newspaper or broadcast station newsroom offers: all the AP, New York Times, Reuters and other newsfeeds are there, and Radio is considerably easier to use than most proprietary editorial systems.
Radio costs $40... a Web server, the printing press of this millenium, sets you back maybe $1000... a handful of good editors can compete with just about any news outlet on the planet. So how do we pay our good editors... I actually have an idea about that... stay tuned... |
