ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

The uniter

Something I've seen as a trend in tech generally is an effort to unite our various toys into a single interface/login/controler/phone number/e-mail address. There were a few examples at the show but one that had an impressively flashy display was the X Lobby. it's really billed as an entertainment system because it can control all of your various media inputs but the screen that caught my eye shows live video of each room in your house and lets you control the temperature and lights. It has a touch screen or a remote control and it all works through that black box there in the lower right. The guy told me they go for 4 grand but you get a thousand bucks off if you buy at the show before the end of the week.
