Broadcatching: the RSS-ification of television news. A Webjay user named Brett Singer has been conducting an interesting experiment: a playlist of daily news clips. (Like all Webjay playlists, it can be subscribed in RSS.)
I heard recently that TV remains the primary news source for
three-fourths of Americans. Can that possibly still be true? I never
watch TV news. But this new clip feed might change that, at least a
little. TV has the resources to do things like take you to the North Pole
to see and hear a scientist evaluate the melting ice pack, and a
military analyst discuss the implications of an ice-free northwest
passage. I won't watch something like that on CBS's schedule, and I
won't even watch it on TiVo's schedule (since TiVo doesn't have the
granularity for named two-minute segments), but I might find two
minutes to watch it on RSS's schedule. ... [Jon's Radio]
