In his post entitled 10x10 View of the News, Micro Persuasion author Steve Rubel points out a very cool new web site built on top of RSS feeds of International news sources, named 10x10.

Rather than integrating it with Google News, I'd say build it on top of a Feedster.com-like service. Not only could 10x10 do what they're doing with thousands of big media news sources (ala Rubel’s comments about integrating with Google News), they could also analyze sentiment (in a local search friendly way!) by analyzing blog meta data.

It's a shame that the Newspaper industry doesn't culturally embrace the very medium that will define its future. If they did, they'd have some R&D propeller heads (and biz folks) working on this kind of stuff.
