Ontario News Watch

...like National News Watch, but smaller, and with all the boring non-Ontario stuff left out.

    Interesting. Do you know if it's run by the same fellow as runs NNW?

    Yeah, I just asked him. He said he's got nothing to do with it.

    Which is interesting, considering the similarity between the sites.

  4. Well, you replicate what works. ON is a better idea than trying to compete directly against NN like some of the newer aggregators. Most of the stories are the same but NN has a one hour march on anyone else cuz of time zones. Bourque usually just rips him off.

    I agree - it's also interesting to see the progression of the idea: NN pioneered the Newswatch medium ( Bourque and Drudge being different stories ), and now people are starting to apply NN's method on a smaller level - ie, just Ontario. Kind of like the evolution of the idea.
