| As a nerd I find much of the daily news to be rather trying. Much of it is of little interest and impact on my day to day life. I send a lot of time reading about technology and developments in our industry and almost no time on regular news. That said, as someone who likes to be well rounded, I think this is a woefully inadequate state for myself. I'd like to be aware of what is happening in the world, financially, politically, and internationally. I yearn for a concise distillation of the torrent of news that most sites provide. I don't have time for nor desire to read all of that. Right now I've got the following in my feed reader to try and fulfill this: http://www.themorningnews.org/ - two times daily, kind of a lot of content, no summarization just links
http://evening-edition.com/ - dialy, summaries of 4-6 of the days top news, I like this very much
http://thebrief.io/ - tech oriented top news, seems to be delivered somewhat irregularly I'm not overly happy with this, I might like a second take from an alternate source similar to the evening edition. The brief is delivered somewhat irregularly and I find the morning news to be just generally lacking, but enjoy some of the frivolous fun that they have with it. Perhaps an evening edition that has a little fun... hmm. Given all of this, I'm quite interested in this service. |
