It allows invited curators to:
 
 
 
* Efficiently follow the zeitgeist of the community (e.g. a ''''newswire'''' of aggregated real-time web activity)
 
 
 
* '''Engage''' with each other, converse, and focus attention around specific stories that curators are interested in.
 
 
 
* '''Surface''' those stories that are most actively discussed/reinforced.
 
 
 
* Propose one or more ''''calls to action'''' as a consequence of a particular story (e.g. raise money for further investigation, air the story on television ....)
 
  
====Our initial vision is to rapid-prototype it by plugging together existing components:====
+
* Need digital devices in "common places" to smooth out the loss of a daily newspaper, or declining print readership.
 
+
* Common places may be libraries, grocery stores, food banks, shopping malls, parks, etc.
* The invited curators would be bootstrapped using the Public Insight Network.
+
* Devices would be primarily by the publication that's providing them
 
+
* Devices would likely be an iPad with Guided Access enabled to prevent anything but visiting the sponsoring publication's website or app.
* The 'zeitgeist/newswire' would be provided using Sociative's R88R ('radiator') technology which distills hourly feeds, ranked for relevance, of the activities of those real-time web users who are most relevant to the community.
+
* Other aspects of the devices can also be sponsored: web access, location, etc. and can provide primarily placement of advertising either physically or digitally
 
+
* No new technology is needed to be written by the publication, as it's just using their existing applications, websites, or RSS feeds.
* The engagement/conversation would be a simple commenting system attached to every story in the newswire
 
 
 
* The most important stories would be surfaced by simple heuristics for 'trending' such as most heavily and recently commented on
 
 
 
* The 'call to action' for a story could be a link to a fundraising page on Spot.us, or a 'contact us' form that media producers could give curators to suggest stories to cover.<br>
