The Guardian are launching yet another very smart online initiative. You’ll be able to go online to The Guardian’s site and print on demand a PDF news document that’s updated throughout the day every fifteen minutes. By choosing from five areas (general news, international, economics, sport and media) you’ll end up with a 8-12 document that you print on demand to read at your leisure. Obvious times of the day are going to be a lunchtime spent away from the computer or the trip home.
Effectively this is a paper-based version of Avantgo. But it’s simple, clever and very effective. The Guardian is simply streets ahead of the competition in this regard.
