Daypop is a search engine that crawls news sites and weblogs once a day to bring you current news. Again it's like Google's news service. Even if it crawled once an hour it'll still be 59 minutes out of date, and at what cost? It has 7500 registered sites. If it has to crawl each one of these every day, or hour, only to find the site hasn't been updated is that a good use of bandwidth and resources?

No, I'm convinced, www.webogs.com with its notification-based system when a weblog has updated is the way to go for an instant news portal. Aggregate the change weblog's RSS feeds, put a search interface onto this and you have instant, globally available, local news and opinion.
