Former Swedish Pirate Party leader and Internet activist Rick Falkvinge launched a new venture yesterday. Intended to rival established media, Falconwings provisions quality news bulletins that are easily shared via the project's automated image creation process. A total of 600 writers are being recruited, with the sole criteria being the ability to consistently author summaries of 450 characters, split into three principle sentences: Fact, Background and Satire.
Initial signs have been promising, with the various tweets from candidates exceeding expectations in terms of quality and audience.
Are there any budding Soylentils interested in giving this a try?

Search engines are easy to fix. Serve txt to bots, and lynx and pic to other users...
And since we don't care about bots that don't follow rules, they get pics too. Though luck.
And of course someone, somewhere will pretend to be Google and copy the text to put it on...
