As I see it the problem with the search (Google) is finding trusted sources. Newspapers are dying. We have corporate garbage for news in the U.S. Over the past 4 years I've restricted my news sources to some bloggers. A number of them experts in various areas.
I think this product could be a replacement for newspapers. Instead of an article about today's events one gets a nice technical overview of, say, the events in Tunisia written by an expert. This could fill the medium between full blown research paper and dumbed down news broadcasts.
- liamk 16y agoIn my opinion the Economist provides some good in depth overviews of events, such as those currently taking place in Tunisia.
- jessriedel 16y agoAgreed. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an Economist-"briefing"-style overview on dozens/hundreds of topics instantly available on the kindle? Like something between the Wikipedia article and a book?
- jonhendry 16y agoBBC News website has generally done a pretty good job of that. Dunno how long that'll last with the slash-and-burn situation there lately.
