Someday, someone will use Wikipedia to write a daily news summary, which will be archived and extensively wikified. We will have set up a mail-this-page-daily feature for Wikipedia, perhaps, and people will be able to receive this by e-mail. What will be cool about this is that one will be able instantly to get background on the subjects of the news because the news summaries will be wikified.
