Wow. The next step in Digging is ... journalism


I nearly missed this piece from Dave Winer, found it thanks to Mashable.
Dave thinks that the next evolution of Digg could be the following: "Or we could do a Digg-like community with 25 people by invitation, some you've heard of, some you haven't. All would be voracious news junkies. They would be empowered to add articles, comment on them, vote them up or down. I would invite Scoble, Fred Wilson, Steve Rubel, Amyloo, Jim Posner, Lawrence Lee and (I'm sure I'll think of many more). We'd count on the judgement of these people to find us interesting news items, and be fair in deciding their relevance."

Well, a group of two dozens of news-junkies reporting about interesting news -- that pretty much sounds like the concept of a team of journalists working for a news office. We are close to come full circle...

Oh, die nächste Evolution von Digg ist... Journalismus
Diesen Artikel von Dave Winer hätte ich fast verpasst, ich wurde heute morgen durch Mashable darauf gestoßen:

Ein Team von Profis, die regelmäßig über interessante Neuigkeiten berichten -- das klingt für mich wie das Konzept Journalist/Nachrichtenredaktion. Der Kreis beginnt sich zu schließen...

Thinking this through, it will open up a short road to paradox ...
