Here’s the problem with most news: it isn’t. It’s olds. It happened hours ago, or last night, or yesterday, or last month, or before whenever the deadline was in the news organization’s current “news cycle”. It’s not now.
So sayeth Doc Searls inspired by Dave Winer’s news feed experiments.
Here are Winer’s New York Times keyword index (if you roll your mouse over a story number, the story title appears), and nytimesriver.com (which posts stories by time).
Of course Dave Winer is a bit of a blowhard. There are lots of innovative News Maps like Newsmapr and Reuter’s News Maps. Personally, I like the 10×10 approach (above). Run it on a Nokia N810, iPhone or G-Phone. Will the ONA (Online News Association) go with the flow? Stay tuned.
