It would be nothing but headlines and summaries, with links back the story online. Oh wait, that already exists, it's called a Feed Reader. I'm not knocking the printed word. Heck, I read about 8 books a month and have 40 magazine subscriptions. But when it comes to news appetite, I still feel hungry after picking up any print newspaper. The personalization capabilities with web-based feeds makes me look at the content in newspapers as off-target to my personal preferences. What is that?...because the desk editors sit and pick what's news. In cyberspace, I get to choose. That's just too hard to compete with. - Lief http://lieflarson.businesscard2.com The paper would be better served to reach the tech savvy crowd by having section called “Feed”.
