Bulleted News

[cretz]

• Distill news into bulleted form
• Drillable for more details
• Most outlets have an overview in bulleted form anyways
• Can have a common format to encourage aggregation
• Think RSS where the title is the main bullet and content is a set of hierarchical uls with lis ... in fact, maybe this is the format with strict restrictions on max length, no other tags, etc
• Needs to of course be categorized/tagged to separate local vs global vs international, politics vs sports, etc
• Goal is to let me obtain all news fast across providers but have links to full stories as well
• Surely this exists (e.g. "in the news" section on wikipedia en's front page) but quality curation and very large breadth and nested bullets are paramount
• Can also lend itself to be somewhat real time for developing stories

• If we had semantic web, you could tag each fact in a news story with semantic information and adjust a zoom level for news. So if you're interested in a semantic area more than other areas, your news can be tailored to you. You could literally get different headings to everyone else but for the same story.
