NY Times River of News

August 22nd, 2006 · No Comments

I looked at the source for Nytimesriver.com and it is HTML 4.1. I wonder
why Dave didn’t use XHTML Mobile 1.0? Any comments Dave?

I caught this on Jeff’s site this evening…

Dave Winer is up to something importantÖ again. He has been talking about
wanting ìrivers of newsî ó that is, headlines stripped of the packaging around
them to give him a constant flow of whatís new. And he just created a few to
feed his ó and our ó mobile phones.

As Jeff goes on to explain, Dave has implemented NYTimesRiver.com and BBCRiver.com — simply taking the site’s feed
and sticking into an html web page that your Blackberry or any mobile phone will
love.  Read
Dave’s blog about it.
