The beginning of the year is traditionally a time to look back, and, for the brave of heart, to make a few predictions looking forward.  Lacking the requisite bravery, I'll just quote something that the Economist wrote recently: Rejoice: the embrace of âopennessâ by firms that have grown fat on closed, proprietary technology is something weâll see more of in 2008.  Now, had this "fearless prediction" been made a year ago, I would have been impressed, because 2007 has turned out to be the year when everyone, it seems, wants to be open. read more

After spending a day with the old keyword page, and getting bored with it, I came up with a new way to look at news, something I've not tried before, that might be fun and/or useful http://nytimesriver.com/keywords.html  Since it's likely to change again soon, here's a screen shot. How it works. Every hour, as usual, it does the nytimesriver scan. Every story is linked to in the database undern all the keywords it references. Then the report, in HTML, is prepared, with the keywords in the left column, and links to all the stories in the right colum. The list is sorted by number of references, the keywords with the most references appear at the top of the list.  So today, baseball is the top item, with 15 references. The teams, the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies, rank high. For some reason (heh) the Boston Red Sox don't appear, even though they're still in it, and the Yankees, even though they've been eliminated (yay!) are near the top at position 10.  It's another leaderboard! (Oh shit.) The stories age, and are removed after 24 hours. After all this is news, not olds.  If you have comments, post them under the screen shot, linked above. PS: Note that since the list just started up today, the initial stories, even though some are already 24 hours old, will remain in the queue until tomorrow morning at this time. So the list will be artificially fat today, it'll thin down tomorrow.

Listen to the voice of wisdom: &quot;It's early.&quot; The speaker? Marcus Banks. He appears to have learned quite a bit in a very short period.

USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but donÂ´t really understand the Washington Post. They do, however, like their smog statistics shown in pie charts.
