Since the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú (and everyone else) have a huge and readily updated array of RSS feeds, we should create more Macromedia Flash-based products which can read these feeds very easily. (Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú updated to RSS 2.0 on 14/03/05) these can be desktop products, embedded on webpages, or run on PocketPC devices.
There are many potential ways in which these could be presented. Here are just a few (see url). Also included there is a small application which searches Yahoo! via the
These products can also be simply turned into desktop applications with increased functionality, for such things as 'enclosure' downloading (a la 'podcatching') and potential for offline consumption of News too (like AvantGo - which has got worse)

SO: I propose a system incorporating ALL the USEFUL feeds/tools available to us from EVERYONE (not just Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú)
but presented in a Flash inteface. This will be available on the web (a la bloglines) and on the desktop (acting as a desktop aggregator)
Also a version would be made available for mobile platforms, primarily the PocketPC (supported by Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú)
ContentAggregation + Content 'organisation' + FEEDBACK TOOLS for live events + content creation/publishing/casting + search + sharing + community/citizen tools. Outlining/notetaking. Chat/shoutboxes etc.
News. Radio. TV. Trails. Shows. Blogs, Podcasts. EPG, ( https://blugg.com/epg ) all in a lovely nice brabded flashy interface, which many people LOVE.
Infotainment, News, Stories, Audio , Video, all in one place..
Customisable for all compatible feeds from external providers/apis
Internal functionality between the web and desktop version do not have to be that different in the Flash file.
It's possible to have the whole shebang in one Flash file, serving both situations (with the desktop version only responding to the desktop specific functions - ie: downloading / syncing to portable players / recording av (though this is possible with Macromedia's FlashCommunication Server over the web)
And lets not forget that we would expose an API for users and developers OF this system, promoting development, thought, understanding, 'system appreciation' with XML/RSS at the heart of the whole system.
Shall I draw a picture? ;)
here's another example of feeds and flash in 'harmony' :
