I am amazed in how following international news has changed in the last few years. Someone on a discussion list recently shared a web 2.0 tool called VueTOO. From their website:

VueTOO is the web's most advanced web content solution allowing users and publisher to blend all types of disparate content from any and all sources, "on the fly", to deliver blended content that is demographically, geographically or situationally grouped by view.
Someone has established an earthquake page that combines earthquake data, maps, tsunami warnings, CNN news, and other resources.

No longer is at least one team of the West Akron Baseball League using their traditional dugout hand signs for the base coaches. To be a coach on this team, you better be on the same "network" as the team manager. The commands to the base coaches are being delivered by text messages. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that the team manager, the son-in-law of the former Cleveland Indians skipper Mike Hargrove, has started utilizing the technology because the coaches were missing the signs. I can already see how this will play out in the next Major League movie.
