There's another idea brewing, but it'll take longer to write up. It's a pervasive computing architecture based on federated systems. More later. 8:27:03 PM

One of the ideas that surfaced today is for a multimedia version of a news aggregator. Except, think "more than news", and think, "more than text or HTML". I'm imagining a content capture system that looks at web pages, MPEGs, JPEGs (at least the metadata for images), syndicated news feeds, network programming, transcribed radio...any parsable content object. This capture service will create a "channel" of aggregated content based on my search/filter criteria. I can then view the channel anytime, independent of source constraints. Think multimedia Tivo. The idea needs some work - but fortunately, that's what one of the clients is paying for. Sweet. 8:20:00 PM
