I don't just object to the narrative format, I object to telling stories. I don't want a more interactive newspaper, I want a more accessible Bloomberg terminal. Everyblock seems to be a step in this direction, and I wholeheartedly approve.
- knowtheory 14y agomm. I don't think what you want and what Dan Sinker or Dan Nguyen are talking about is different from what you want. There's a "Show Your Work" movement in the news+tech community that's pretty popular, and making its way into stories too.

- rabidsnail 14y agoVery cool. Are those annotations crawlable? Is there an RDF schema for those kinds of snippets? PS: While this is a very small step in the right direction, it's very small.
