I have decided to make news posts a regular feature of this blog. I experimented with it months back. But I did not keep it up. I thought, maybe I should only link to articles I read. I no longer feel that way. Often times reading the headlines is enough. You don't need to read the full article. The idea should be that you read 30 headlines, about 15 article summaries, and five full length articles, and it would be like you had your morning coffee and you are good for the day. Not only are you well informed of the happenings that affect you and are of interest to you, but you also have some idea of what's going on in the tech sector at large, in the world at large.

And I really like doing them. I am a big picture person. Before I can really enjoy the top three stories for the day, I need to know what is going on generally speaking. In preparing these news posts, I get to read summaries of many, many articles. I like that.
Along the way I also come up with ideas for new blog posts. Like today I came across an article in BusinessWeek that inspired me to write this post that I am proud of: The Economy: Uncharted Waters.
The innovation is that this simple feature allows me to act like a layer on top of many top news sources. A blogger is not just a writer, but also an editor. In my case I am a netizen. A netizen stays informed in the most efficient ways possible.
