AOL Seedsters: Journalism Goes Bionic
A few months back AOL unleashed the beta version of its new journalism machine Seed, a mass-content generation tool that is part traditional journalism and part citizen reportage, to extend its range beyond its 3,500 professional and freelance journalists in order to "make more content, faster, better and cheaper than anyone else," says Steven Rosenbaum writing for TechCrunch.Former New York Times writer and Program Director of Seed has coined the term "Bionic Journalism" to describe the aggregation of new content by computers which is then selected by humans.
