The next logical step would be to show a timeline of how sources pick up a stories, so you could determine who is getting the best scoops.

Yes. Several of the feed sources we read from publish a headline with barely anything to say within the article, then as the info comes in to them, they republish the same story, each time with minor changes in the headline and adding more meat to the story. The Associated Press is notorious for this. That's how they beat everyone else to the punch every time.
