So, what is this thing exactly? It is several things in one actually and David Brauer from Minn Post actually came up with the best way to describe it: "news -buzz-graphical-interface-web thingie". Maybe add real-time? And Twitter. Oh, we give up.
How does it work? At first glance you might be a bit confused, so take some time and play with it. Or you can just read the FAQ on the Wire blog.
User reactions that we picked up from Twitter vary from cool to .. argh.
Not that this matters for WCCO peeps at all, but fake Senator Clay Davis (from the Wire, the HBO TV show) was very excited about this launch?
So,will you be using the Wire? How do you feel about the entire user experience?Submitted by @marrina.
