Blogs as news papers
There is something appealing with this idea. Swedish geography based pinging service Lemonad produces a daily pdf (example) with a selection of new blog posts. As they say, "Download, print and read it on the bus".
The nerds among us will immediately argue that it's a waste of fine paper... But web access on the bus - or wherever - isn't for everyone yet. And it'll take some time before it is.
The Lemonad service is pretty basic. You can't choose your own sources, for example. But that could of course be done, and it opens up for interesting possibilities. I could create my own "news paper" with the mix of content I want and get it all on paper - the only true mobile medium.
If you're working in a large organisation with a couple of official RSS-feeds and a growing number of internal blogs... Voila, you have your daily internal paper. That is something we never managed to produce in the print era.
Any international services like this?
