The noise of the web increases exponentially as time goes on. It's hard to get a sense of the past, present and future at a glimpse. Part time capsule, part news feed, fiftystory.com takes the top 50 voted for stories for a calendar day and automatically posts them to the wall. Once posted, those 50 stories remain for all time. There is no cost to post and share a story, article, idea, etc. However, only stories that make the cut are searchable. Once a story is built, it's up to the author to spread the word and get votes. There is a preview link provided to share across social networks or via email. But again, not searchable on the site, only through the efforts of the author. In addition to the 50 (non-commercial) stories, there will be 10 auctioned tiles each day that commercial or non-commercial interests can bid on to secure a place on the wall. So it would be a 4 x 15 grid for each day. Development has been on and off for a couple years and is mostly in need of a better image management and display system and a mechanism for making bidding of sponsored tiles possible.
