A newspaper experience minus the actual paper?

I just ran across this post on Mashable. If you don’t read Mashable regularly, you should. Add it to your feed reader today. 

Okay, now back to the real reason I’m posting today on my day off.

There’s a new service called Feed Chronicle that pulls feeds from various sources and puts them in a newspaper layout on your screen.  The full name is: "Feed Chronicle:The Collaborative Newspaper," and it's still in Beta.  All of th big online news sources seem to be present, but you can also suggest additional feeds. 

I’m too short on time to share my thoughts on it at the moment but I have toyed with it for the last 10 or 15 minutes.  I do find it interesting that people may no longer want the physical paper in their hands, but they want the layout.

I know you have something to say about this. Check it out and leave a comment.
