Multi-Tasking at the PDF

I could see a network of such short spots that users could then assemble their own program from through taxonomic searching. Some of us at CivicActions mused about a system that could aggregate and classify public televisions and public access television programming from around the country. Users could then subscribe to certain terms, or specific feeds, the result would be a show assembled on the fly of segments the user wants to see.
