“amazoning the news”

The web is for stories, says Hypergene, but not for individuals stories. It is for networked stories. They propose an “Amazon-style” storytelling process, where the articles are embedded in the flow of similar stories that surround them and are displayed according to the amount of work and user appreciation that went into them. Nothing new here, we’ve had the tools for some time, we even experiemented with them for a while (although most major media withdrew from this business for a while, a story that itself deserves telling). What is new is that they make a theoretical attempt to justify the return of interactivity.
