How News service provider (e.g. Broadcasters, Newspapers) archives and a Twitter (alike) application creates a useful service, useful promotion of eCommerce.
In short you monitor what people search (Google, twitter search, Wikipedia stats), query your (or any other) archives and deliver (offer) relevant archived material to services people who might look for relevant stories and background ... and channels the might use to retrieve them
Four components work together
NPR's API (to access (NPR's) archive)
Google' Hot Trends (to sniff trends)
Yahoo Pipes (to create feeds)
Twitter (to deliver) @NPRbackstory
By no means, NPRbackstory algorithm isn't perfect yet, but...
