Develop an application that fetches the guide from the internet, it shows whats on now and whats next and the highlights of the day. I can read news from it if i want to. If im interested in a program, i click on it to watch a promo or a trailer. I can set an alarm to remind me of the timing of the program and when it starts.

Doing nothing will do no harm and could be useful for later when there is a really good worth while idea.

I really like what Tim O'Reilly does with his twitter account, he promotes and re-tweets the best and most important things happening in his sphere. The BBC has a great deal of news and other content that would benefit from promotion plus the combined output of all the already committed twitterers like Rory C-J, bbccouk etc. This would obviously require a significant amount of effort by someone to aggregate and edit.

First note that #2 and #3 are kissing cousins -- both are "selections" ... using somewhat different slices of raw data ... mentioning someONE specific to do the "SELECTION" in 3.

"AGGREGATION" is NOT "SELECTION" ... of "THE BEST."

AGGREGATION is ... "some kind of orchestration" ... of common threads ... opinions ... visualizations ... so that WE ALL see ... what WE ALL think.

What we are used to ... is some RANDOM selection of something ... that has been APPROVED by someone ... as "within the pale" of public conversation.

Aggregation ... can produce surprises. Selection ... amplifies the usual suspects.

NOW: How do you DO aggregation? Well, that's a good question. One that that will not be answered in this little box tonight. lol BUT it is the right question. Start there.

The issues raised in the vid and by a very erudite Helge point to what it should not be used for.

Let's share ideas, yes, but also ideas from an opinion leader. It would thus seem obvious that your/our leader should share his ideas, opinions and conjectures - in the spirit of public service, open governance etc.

This would be a great example of pushing an idea upstairs.

Why not?

For example, if im watching a program such as the news or the cooking shows, i would like to know what happened during the break. Twitter updates can update me on what happened during a break in the news, in a show, or a link can be posted on twitter for more info. All of this can be done realtime. Moreover, with a twitter app i can follow the BBC in with all the info in realtime.
