DaveNet: What is a News Aggregator? [Scripting News] comment [] 4:53:56 PM

CONGRATS! Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for defeating the Atlanta Braves this evening and advancing to the National League Championship Series against the St Louis Cardinals. What a cliff-hanger, what a surprising ending. And thanks to Dan Shafer for blogging the play by play. That made it even more interesting. [Scripting News] Well, we'll have to find something else to do in Atlanta this October (oops, wait a  minute, its football season!).  Anyway, Dave's reference to Dan led me to a comment which is interesting I work for a newspaper in South Carolina, and we've done this sort of thing for some high school football games with tremendous response. The user demand may not be quite as great for something with as much media coverage as the NLDS, but fans love this kind of stuff, once they find it. Keep it up.
