They just launched a new "Audio" feature on their website which I think is a great way of expanding their reader and user base. With so many people on the go and having media players, I think this is the obvious way for publication companies to expand.

Of course more and more techies are becoming news junkies living in a 24 hour cycle, but there are people for whom the morning paper and the evening news are enough to get them through the day.There's a certain convenience in two intakes of news per day, instead of 200 little morsels coming in all day long.Not better or worse--just different.

There’s a certain convenience in two intakes of news per day, instead of 200 little morsels coming in all day long.

Not better or worse–just different.

I get most of my news from the radio (90.9 FM, WBUR) and also from my corporate portal page (I don't know where the feeds come from, but they have a variety of news feeds), slashdot, telegram.com (local newspaper's site), and other internet sites. I don't own a TV and I don't consider Twitter a news source.

Instead, I get what seems to be a junior high playground. I have started to look at Netscape for better discussions. The printed copy is not dying though. I would rather wake up in the morning and grab my paper rather than sit at the screen. It seems more leisurely. I used to liek Digg but I was looking for intelligent discussions.

I can't believe that I missed that IRC session.Too bad.I agree that Digg is killing the newspaper. People can add comments and rate news stories. That isn't exactly new, but Digg has a "critical mass" of users and a base of dedicated users that keep Digg from becoming like Youtube where totally useless stuff is uploaded and chain letters are most of the comments.
