Old News

This is from Jacques Mattheij's blog, actually (here) - but I've been considering it for some time now, and maybe it's time to start considering harder.

The idea is to track news items over extended periods of time, and do a "how did it turn out" thing periodically. Wikipedia kind of does this for a lot of events as they unfold.

Anyway, this would also be more than just an online venture - you'd need journalists actually following some things up on some sort of schedule. It sounds like a good idea, though. (Though how you'd monetize it is beyond me.)
