For those who haven't run across it already, you should check out http://www.digg.com - it's a great example of the way the interactivity of the Internet can be used to create something better than any traditional newspaper. This is pretty much exactly the kind of thing the article I posted a couple of days ago was talking about. Of course, digg.com focuses mainly on science/tech/geek stuff because that's what the readers are interested in, but it's only a matter of time before we start seeing sites like this with a "mainstream" news focus.

Digg does have nice interactivity. However I have recently seen some posts on reddit.com that discuss some of digg.com's moderation techniques. From what I have read, digg is selectivly choosing to remove some submissions for unknown reasons. here is a link: http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2005/8/14/1136956.html. That piece and a few others I have seen suggest that digg is not the happy, unbiased news reporting engine I thought it was.
