I'm imagining something more than just linking. Perhaps news organisations calling ppl at a specific locations just to provide immediate, on-the-ground info. These people might have registered beforehand already with the organisation or via a proxy, leaving their phone number/email and payment info/member info for points. Or be mass-SMSed according to the geographical location etc. Exactly. I’m imagining something more than just linking.

I said in my post that that these feeds from events will be up on the internet somewhere anyway. News organizations will be left with the choice of linking or not linking. I do think that monitoring a bunch of feeds and finding the interesting stuff and alerting us to it is a potential new value for a news organization. I also think a news organization can alert people that news is going on near them and get them to start feeding. There is value they can add and I'm saying that they need to think about what that value would be. We’re agreeing.

It's just a small part of techie-green irony: how much energy is used by 2.0 junkies pounding away on their machines about carbon footprints?
