Hepi's 10 ideas

1)News stories generated to you via your physical location (on your laptop, cell phone or pda). Kinda like Chicago crimes, but with news stories good and bad. It'd be useful for finding events, and knowing when certain things have happened and it coulkd indicate the potential interest or impact stories in your proximity would have.

2) A Myspace or Facebook app that uses the information you have already put into your profile to generate news content that you may be interested in. It could also tell you what news stories your friends have recently read or are interested in and could incite discussion about those issues.

3) The ultimate news aggregate that combines stories from the internet, from local, national and international news television stations, as well as podcasts and streaming news radio. You would chose the stories you want to watch.

4) A television service in which you chose what news stories you want to watch. (kinda like on the internet you only pick the stories seem interesting to you).

5) An online community journalism watch dog group that uses user input to rate news stories and the people who write them. It would focus on issues such as accuracy of reporting, possible slanting of stories by the author, etc.

6) Accurate Second Life recreations of major news stories (such as 9/11, the launch of space shuttle atlantis etc.)

7) Programmable news radio that lets you listen to the stories you want to hear rather than the stories the station gives you.

8) A television news aggregate.

9) It will come to me...

10) It will come to me...
