the future of news?

sit and watch this for awhile:

http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/

and since digg is experimenting, i will too -- with the format of this blog.

Amanda: wow

can i read the articles or not? it won't let me

me: yea you have to click them twice - once to get to the digg page, then to get to the article

they should change that

i found two articles to read in the first 30 seconds or so -9 Essential Ideas to Find Time for Freelance Work and Robert Scoble Asks, "Is Facebook the New Press Release?"

but obviously there are less practical (boring) things to read too:

Amanda: "Robbers stab man in penis"

sorry, no link for that last one!

EDIT: this version shows popular stories - i think it may be better (though you'd miss truly 'breaking' news): http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/?popular

nevermind. too repetitive...
