SimplyHeadlines
Yes, I know it does nothing but enable my tendency toward information junkiness, but this tip from Dan Gillmor got me on SimplyHeadlines.
More interestingly, though, Dan also allows us to see some light under the door in terms of online media inertia at Knight-Ridder, his previous employer:
About two years ago I gave a talk to some senior people people at Knight Ridder, before it was sold to McClatchy. I begged them to use [the headlines.com domain, which K-R owned], or sell it to me so I could do something with it. I believe they thought I was joking about the latter idea. I wasn’t. Any random person off the street could have made something of Headlines.com.
I'll add "...either as a useful service or, frankly, even as a crafty domainer."
