Idea 09 · Feed.me, a working name
Big words, drifting in slowly and never leaving, from open sources. No audio, no scroll, no rush. A screen that stays alive with what is happening now.
This is the product. Headlines drift in slowly, sized by how much they matter, and keep moving; nothing disappears, nothing demands a tap.
Staying informed means a feed engineered to keep you scrolling.
Rolling news TV needs sound and shouts. Screens in venues loop dead content.
Ambient awareness has no product. "Just tell me if something big happens."
Headlines drift in slowly, sized by how much they matter, and keep moving. Nothing disappears, nothing demands a tap.
They weave their own menu and promos into the moving feed.
People in the room tap to react or call what happens next, and the feed shows how the room feels.
The same moving feed, with the venue's own menu and promos woven between the headlines. The promos are the ad space, and they belong to the room.
The pint and the quiz drift in like any other headline, sized to be seen, worth more than a generic ad because they fit the place and the crowd.
A countdown is just another line in the feed. It ticks in place, never clears, and pulls the room to the bar before it ends.
On a personal screen now, and on venue screens as the roadmap: tap to react or call what happens next, and the feed shows how the room skews. This is the interactive face of the same news layer as Skews.
Tap a headline to react or predict; the taps land on the stream and the room's verdict appears, still monochrome, still calm.
Built for glancing, engineered against scrolling.
Promos woven into the feed, priced up because they are location or audience relevant, a pub's pint or a campus event, not generic ads.
The two are the ambient and the interactive faces of one news layer.
The promos between the headlines are the ad space, sold or revenue-shared with the venue, and worth more because they fit the place and the crowd. Venue subscriptions for the menu and promo slots. Interactive venue screens are the roadmap.
No, it is your tube-ride news too; the venue screen is the same feed, bigger.
Open news sources, ranked, never rewritten.
Slow is the feature: paced to be calm, and always moving so it never feels dead.
On a personal screen yes, and on venue screens that is the roadmap: tap to react or predict, and see how the room skews.
A screen that stays alive with what is happening now.
