SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST
Location as the Next Big Thing
Two of the articles today need to be taken together – the idea of location based information as the Next Big Thing, and the idea of the rise of Blogging, Twitter, and Pownce as the next interation in the narrowing of the news cycle.
How much of the daily news do you need to know, and why do you need to know it ?
It’s more than a philosophical question, especially as I screen and edit stories for the podcast each evening.
First of all, there is the local and immediate – weather to plan for, traffic delays to route around – that come to listeners through other channels.
Next there are the obvious job related alerts – like the Adobe key logger exploit.
But where did the mention of the Victorian Internet – the Telegraph come from ? What about the analog computer from World War II and New Zealand rabbit populations ? The item on the brain protein that regulates fear ?
Each of those stories are neither location or time relevant. I’m glad that each is in the “news”. It’s the opportunity to ponder, if only for a moment, the human interaction of the technology that we all swim in without realization.
Positioning in place and time might be the most important story of the day.
