There is nothing worth less than old news. While it is CURRENTLY impossible to get fresher information than live televised broadcasts, that will not be true forever. Companies like GPIX and INETCAM and others are assembling back end systems that will allow the viewing of a network of webcams, and infinite network, permitting everybody to see most anywhere in the world at anytime. Everywhere there are webcams and permission of course. As I write this, for example, you could view one of the most boring but frequently viewed images - a guy sitting typing on a keyboard in front of a computer. After doing almost ZERO research I've concluded the most common live image possible is just that. The second most common image has got to be one of these "hey big boy, come visit me and my sorroity sisters in our webcam room for only $5/min" emails. Back to news freshness....as people are not yet paying for all this fresh news on wireless devices, and since there is such a paucity of them that really work, the pickings are rather slim today. That will all change, probably by 2010 when today's 18 year olds are 28 and making decisions in the IT areas of companies and in their own lives that match their lifestyle. For now, nothing beats the newspaper for fresh news, of all sorts, with great photos, at a low price.
