Recent­ly a new blog­ging busi­ness mod­el has seen some mod­er­ate suc­cess.

While it appears to be a refresh­ing method of devel­op­ing inter­est in the news there appears to be some man­ner of loss that is appar­ent.

What this means is that while the busi­ness mod­el is effec­tive it is not entire­ly well pro­duced and direct­ed.

(cri­tique) mind you, is pro­duc­tive.

When you see the front end of the web­site, it is of inter­est and yet there is some trep­i­da­tion, (they want your email address) OK<

Per­haps, but wait, what about spamm What about, get­ting all kinds of emails try­ing to sell me some­thing I don’t want.

(Well it is a lit­tle on the scary side) After all they have not real­ly earned our trust just yet and they already want our email address.

So, you fork over your email in exchange for the promise of well were not sure, but it seems like they are offer­ing a ser­vice where they look over the news and only for­ward you the most inter­est­ing parts of it, so you can skim over the most salient parts of the days news.

They claim that they are not biased like so many oth­er news orga­ni­za­tions are these days and they cross par­ty lines, (lets hope so)

We know they use mail chimp.   (so that is a plus)
