Sounds good to me. I don't see too much of a problem with 'old' stories from the paper. One of the issues that a lot of the scpetics have about multimedia is how it fits in with the 'core product'. Link backs and forwards to content offline as well as on makes for a joined up approach. As i said, thats the thing I like most about the approach, it tries to fit in to what happens across the publication but keeps an individual identity. I hope that "organic transformation" Seth talks about is happening. Hi Dwayne.

I'd just like to point out that the news on the TimesCast is never "old" news from that morning's paper. One of our cardinal rules is to look forward, not backwards. Sometimes it is "new news" that has been posted on the site -- and to that extent, yes, we do serve as a guide, or a tease, if you will -- to the rest of the roanoke.com site. But many times it's news that hasn't been published, either online or in print. We usually strive for three news items and most days, we're a mix, but it's always new. http://blogs.roanoke.com/vlog/ Dwayne Yancey here, one of the AMEs in Roanoke — producing the TimesCast everyday is one of my duties.

I like that. But entertaining in a real way, not the way TV has always tried to make news as entertainment -- if you catch the my drift on the difference. And I like your observation, Andy, that Roanoke is looking at what else is going on online, not just at newspaper sites. Again, thanks for the link. “An entertaining way to watch news …” I like that.

My full name is actually Stephanie Rosenblatt. I haven't updated in a while (life in transition), but I will soon, and I'll be sure to check out your posts from now on! Great job compiling all the information. As your excerpts from different people say, it's goofy...took me a minute to catch on to, but it really is quite an entertaining way to watch the news. Cheers to Roanoke! Hello Andy,
