Years ago the (obvious to me) revelation that all these different services and tools are showing slices and summaries of the same larger article. Twitter is a headline publisher. Slashdot/HN/lobsters/Facebook are publishing the summary paragraph. Email and blogs are still the host for the long form article.

Take a stroll through journalism textbooks, identify all the parts of a successful publications lifecycle, and provide all elements and you might reinvent publishing such that it satisfies all the current and future needs while still meeting the old style too.
