Bloomberg radio for startup news
Enter the office of any financial institution and you'll find Bloomberg on TV and the radio. It's almost always on, filling their ears and heads with up-to-date news about their industry. They don't need to venture to a website periodically to be updated -- it's constant.
This should exist for the startup community. Perhaps it would be slightly different, as coding with that kind of white noise is pretty difficult (at least for me). Maybe that's a reason it wouldn't work. But it would be nice to not need to surf the web to find out that 37signals has some massive update or that your favorite hosting provider has experienced a massive outage.
Maybe it doesn't have to be audio -- perhaps something akin to RSS, where you can subscribe to specific companies. I think textual data is not ideal, though, because that still requires more attention than merely hearing the stories read to you.
