A clean headline is the basis for all 'syndicatable' content
"The web works with hyperlinks - and hyperlinks that have some explanation work best. For news, the age-old headline provides perfect text for a link and headlines are specifically created to whet the appetite for more information.
One of the central problems that developers will need to work around for blogging multimedia files is how to create meaningful links.
For example the Audblog system that lets you dial a number, record a message and post it to your weblog leaves links that don't say anything about the content, and for good reason, this is very difficult.
There are 3 solutions:
Automatic text summarization of a sound file (Autonomy can do this - but the results are unreliable).
Prompted voice recognition of a spoken title (and these systems 'just love my accent').
Keying in a title (difficult on a cellphone).
Despite the difficulties, a clean headline is the basis for all syndicatable content (e.g. RSS is basically a headline a link and some other stuff at its most simple) and Moblogging will need to solve this problem." [David Galbraith's weblog]
