Follow That Story!

Post categories:

How often do you think, "Oh, there's an interesting development. I should follow that thread!" but if you have not got the time to scan the News thoroughly everyday, you miss follow-up articles. 'Follow That Story' enables users to track the development of a story that caught their attention. It aims in a similar direction as "Story of a Story" and "No News?" in this section.

All articles on ´óÏó´«Ã½ News have links to related articles, but these (naturally) only point to older articles. When you stumble on an older article it is very difficult to see how that story developed. The idea is to use the existing 'backward' links harvested from the new articles in the RSS feed to build a tree or network of related articles extending into the future. For each article, 'forward' links would be displayed, leading the user to articles that link to the current article.
