I have started using google reader and for most financial news I just look at the headlines to get an idea.
Looks like its becoming more and more important to write articles with relevant headlines with the whole article summarized in it.
Do journalists have tools to be able to do this. Highlight important sections and have the computer figure it out?
ToI is not going to remain afloat too long are they ;)

scripts on the web
We need the ability to process some of the information on websites with our custom scripts. That way we can analyze certain numbers and display results in favorite formats.
So web3.0 should be about websites which provide APIs to access information on their site. They can probably pop up Ads when my scripts run on their data or charge for an ad free access. So I could be running some script using a cron-job and continuously displaying it on my personal page or blog or google home page.

Signs in Kenya of a Land Redrawn by Ethnicity - New York Times
Someone please tell me that the Kenyan problem has its roots in something other than just humans being themselves !!
NYT --- Still, hundreds of thousands of Kikuyus have fled the Rift Valley, followed by members of other communities displaced by revenge killings. The United Nations estimates that at least 600,000 people have been uprooted. About half have gone to camps in churches, police stations, stables and prisons. The living conditions are often horrible.

Technology Review: Rethinking the Cell Phone
I don't know if it will be a hit. I like the idea but wouldn't buy one myself, unless they package a couple of jackets with the device at a reasonable cost. However I think for the engineering team this system must've been a lot of fun to work on.
Technology Review: Rethinking the Cell Phone
Modu Mobile, the Israeli startup that launched the phone, is hoping to change the way that consumers think about their handhelds, explains Itay Sherman, the company's chief technology officer. Today, people generally have one phone that they use all the time, and they use it for a year or two because it's too expensive to buy a new model more frequently. But Sherman says that the idea of one phone for all occasions doesn't mesh with people's lifestyle. Sometimes you want to walk around with the smallest possible phone, he says; other times you want a good messaging device with a large keyboard, or a media player with a large screen. "Instead of buying a completely new phone, the jacket enables you to switch."
