Taking this one step further: Why aren't "factual" news sites a thing, where news are computer readable (think JSON), and you can filter for the information you want?
Not all news can be made computer readable easily, but there are several classes of news that can be that way, or at least have rich, computer readable meta data (sports results, releases of software, new music albums, movies, upcoming events, announcement of road maintenance, ...).
Update: Is anybody interested in working on such a system with me? If yes, drop me an email (moritz@faui2k3.org)!
- herokusaki 13y agoGreat idea! I'm not sure something good would come out of it but another type of news that follows a predictable pattern and could be made machine-readable is celebrity gossip.
