“Scripting the News”

My mind just did a flip-flop.

Dave Winer's Scripting News has a good name. You know what it's about, as soon as you see the name (unless you don't know what scripting is, or you're a playwright).

In a lot of ways, though, the site has stopped being about scripting, and is now more about weblogs (a type of news site), rss feeds (automated, syndicated news 'channels'), etc.

So "Scripting News" takes on a new meaning. It's still accurate, but instead of being a news site about scripting, it's a site about "scripting the news".

Wacky. I still need a holiday.
