Flickring the News isn't a story, it's a conversation. We plan to look next at the cascading effect these changes would have on the rest of the structure of a news site. What will the home page become? What is "interestingness" in the context of a news site? What other tools are necessary to allow for optimal re-use and comprehension of news stories? And how can this all be combined to compete with Craigslist? (As if!) Add your own answers and reactions at the bottom of the page. Favorite FeedbackSo far, this is our favorite feedback:
No, not yet -- but if you have a box of money under your bed, please contact us and we'll put it to good use. CommentsA few more suggestions to go along with your great commentary: * let people (writers / producers at the news outlet or participants) create personal remixes of the news, consisting of content contributed by themselves and created by others. A personal interpretation of the news that provides personal views. A funny thing happened while reading through your proposal - I might even call it a dimensional shift. I realized this is exactly where news websites need to be. I read a massive amount of blogs/news portals everday, and the difference between them is striking. News websites still feel like the old "one-way" communication, useful for breaking the story, but old and dead within an hour. Your Tickr is really the dimension that made photography so much fun, but applied to the news. Congrats on the great work. Posted by ianmack at April 4, 2007 9:50 AMThis is a very cool idea. I like it a lot, however, I do still like the old school hold-overs of Business, Sports, Arts. Sometimes I do want to look at a broad category, but then be able to drill down by subject. This is still really great. Posted by Monique at April 4, 2007 11:09 AMGreat idea. I've posted a note on my 07newsroom blog and sent word to a norgs email list and encouraged people to comment. Thanks and keep those ideas flowing, Post a comment

Great, great idea! I really like the concept of shared news that is inspired by individuals and shared with people who interact with the story and vision as it is presented. Much nicer to be introduced to new ideas, features, and "events" from a social media base rather than just passively staring at a traditional news story online or in print. I found this project through a contact I have on flickr who presented a sample mashup to illustrate and give the link to tickr.
