“The ability to get the news you want is the hallmark of a networked world.” (Ch. 8, Sorting it Out)
With media coming from so many different places and people, the question is how do you sort billions of article and find the ones you want?
This book was written in the early days of Google News, Google Alerts, My Yahoo!, and similar sites that sort news.
Of these sites the one I know best is My Yahoo! I have my “My Yahoo!” site set to show my mail, weather, comics, sports scores, and find specific news articles about “the 49ers,” “SJSU Sports,” “Movies,” “Boxing,” and more. This way I can know when news breaks on any of my interests, without going through several websites.
