Vin Crosbie finally cuts loose with his previously promised take on a succesful strategy for online news. Along the way, he takes the current news industry, online and offline, to task for poor judgement, lack of vision, and general all around myopia.
The key to his strategy? Focusing on the service that news organizations provide as the real value add and using technology to make hyper-relevant personal editions.
RSS/aggregator zealots will now get all worked up about how this specific technology is what Vin is talking about. Take a deep breath folks. RSS has a long way to go before it can meet the goals he discussed. But it's a good start.
And somebody please tell OJR to get on the bandwagon and provide an RSS feed
