"One of our doctoral students spent Election Night grabbing screen captures from 98 different news Web sites, from about 11:30 P.M. EST until almost 6 a.m. Wednesday morning. The fruits of his labor are viewable at Iterasi, a free Web site that allows you to capture and save any Web page — with all its text selectable and its links still clickable — with a single click. How cool is that?". Really cool is the answer.
Maybe I'm not understanding it properly, but aren't those custom news feeds for musicians on the BBC Music Beta just links to related BBC news articles?
I know we've been here before but shouldn't the BBC be doing more to link to publishers beyond the BBC site?
