Invade Rage Meme

Bronwen from PerthNorg tagged me with a new blog meme today.

The Thinker’s Podium started the meme based on the Invade rage Competition to celebrate the music video show’s 20th anniversary.

The idea is to compile your top 20 favorite music videos, as you’d like them played on the television show rage. If you enter the actual competition you have a chance to guest program and host rage itself.

Paul Montgomery then tagged Bronwen, and she realized that the list would actually be more fun if compiled within Scouta. That way you actually have the chance to watch the videos as well as read the list. So she added her top 20, followed by Perth Music’s top 20.

Watch my selections in the My rage Top 20 Scouta Group.

I’m now gonna tag Simone from Enjoy Perth, Scientaestubique, Michael Specht, Muddyblog, and Meg from dLook (congrats on the dLook.mobi launch as well Meg!).

As for the list:
A HA - Take On Me
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
INXS - Need You Tonight
INXS - Mediate
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Stone Roses - Fools Gold
U2 - The Fly
Prodigy - Voodoo People
Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Oasis - Wonderwall
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Kylie - Spinning Around
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Gary Jules - Mad World
2 Heads - Out of the City
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.
Green Day - Wake Me Up Before September Ends
Eskimo Joe - Black Fingers Red Wine
Fall Out Boy - This Is Not A Scene
Timberland - Give It To Me

Winer’s “TV News Of The Future”

Dave Winer, the father of RSS, conceived an idea for TV news of the future.

I was drinking coffee, watching the morning news when a story about Virginia Tech came on MSNBC. I really wanted to begin this week without more stories about how they’re coping. I know this makes me an ogre, but after listening to On The Media yesterday, my cynicism is validated. And after watching 60 Minutes about life in Baghdad, the first report I’ve seen to actually go in to get the story, I was aware that people are dying in places outside Blacksburg (and truthfully, the dying is probably over in Blacksburg).

I had a flash, I want a checkbox that tells MSNBC that I don’t want any more Virginia Tech stories.

Dave even has a screen mockup of how he’d like to see the UI.

It’s a great idea. Essentially you’re filtering what you see in the news at any time.

We like to think that we’ve taken the next step in the idea by making the filtering just happen. News will work much better if it understands your interests and tastes intuitively, and provides filtered video or audio automatically. There might be some instances that this won’t work, but as long as you have access to everything and can “browse, surf, or search,” and you can make your own decisions of new filters.

What do people think of Dave’s idea? How do people see “news” working in Scouta?
