File this under "cool uses of technology". The Washington Post has encouraged
developers to come up with hacks that would allow people to read the news on
their site in new and different ways. The best one is called "news cloud".
You are presented with a square that contains keywords from recent news
stories. Click on one and you get all the recently published stories related
to that keyword. The stuff behind it? Linux, Apache, mod_perl and PostgreSQL.

This would be a good thing for all mewspapers to offer. Who needs a front page
anymore?
