Doing "The Crawl"
You know "the crawl" -- that little trailer of text that scrolls along the bottom of a newscast, essentially letting you have two cipherlike news-experiences at once?
Apparently, Fox crawls at 115 words per minute, while CNN and MSNBC crawl at 105 words per minute.

Did you know MTV uses the crawl to post email reactions to their videos? I wonder what it would be like if they used the technique on CNN -- have they?
