A virtual news agency

Monday, July 6th, 2009

If you were to visit a news organization, say, in late 1970s, you would have seen a room with the constant chattering of teletype machines.

Every once in a while, a line would appear with a catchy title, followed by few more lines.

I remember that it was called “strillo d’agenzia” in Italian (I was but a kid, tagging along with my father).

Recently, I have been supporting few pro-bono startups.

In this short post, I would like to focus on a simple issue: layering your online information, taking a page from 1970s news agencies and organizations.
