I found intriguing this part of what you said: as a story unfolds it gets more context and is curated in one place I've been dismayed in the past that we hear a news report, and the interest dies out before it's resolved, so we never learn what actually happened. It seems that this is because the delivery mechanism for MSM is always serialized and episodic. If a way could be found to communicate an issue, event, etc., as a single entity throughout its lifecycle, allowing us to watch developments, reaction, resolution, etc., so I could go back and see if, e.g., the corrupt legislator really got prison time, or how many Haitians remain homeless after the recent earthquake, I think I'd be a lot more satisfied. I think that in one way, Google Wave can address some of this. But it's still lacking the indexing and discoverability aspects. |
