		<description>No punches pulled here: Your concept needs plenty of refinement, and your interface blows.

Unlike some of the previous posters, I don't give away advice.

Interface testing and designing is my specialty, so please email me at the address I provided, and maybe we can work a deal out.

Please don't consider this a smartass post...consider it an offer to help. If you pay me to help make your concept better, it's win-win.</description>

An early proponent of Digg his venture Daylife is bringing some great revolutionary thinking to daily news. I don&#8217;t really have a handle on it yet (it&#8217;s new) but it feels smart, and fun.

		<description>Congratulations. I've enjoyed being a beta user and had really good luck diving into stories where the angle I was interested in was different than the popular angle. I wanted to know if Allen Iverson was being a good teammate in Denver and how Lance Armstrong trained for the NYC Marathon. In both cases I was able to find the article I wanted in one click.</description>

		<description>[...] It will be interesting to see where Jeff Jarvis and his cohorts take DayLife. It&#8217;s an attractive site and looks like it could be a useful way to consumer big media news &#8212; but that&#8217;s just it, it&#8217;s big media. From Jarvis, I was expecting something more social and more networked. It&#8217;s not revolutionary, from what I can see, but certainly evolutionary. The TK API is a smart move.

		<description>[...] I have somewhat Japanized daylife.com, which is the newly beta-launched news aggregation site, being led by Jeff Jarvis, among others. My purpose here in Japanizing is simply to show the Japanese audience how it feels, yet I know Japanizing English news aggregation site is of little practical use, since the content is still to come in English. It seems the aggregation is, in part, being done by human and, in part, by machine. [...]</description>

		<description>Beta or not, the site severly lacks depth.

When one of your investors crtitizes your efforts it's time for a reevaluation.

And I'm still left asking myself, what's the purpose of DayLIfe???</description>

		<description>[...] I think a big part of the problem is that Daylife has been in stealth or development mode for a year or more, and it has some pretty high-profile people involved, including Jeff Jarvis &#8212; who seems to be taking all the criticism pretty well so far &#8212; as well as Craig Newmark, Dave Winer and the NYT. So I think the expectation was that when it launched it would be significantly different than Newsvine and Topix and so on. And it&#8217;s not. [...]</description>

		<description>Why would I want to go to a site that only had "some sources to please" me but others that chafed me?

My chi coach insists that I avoid all possible irritation.  Other aggregators, filters, or my own self-direction will fill that prescription.

Triangulation and balanced opinion quotas will prove a fad in the &lt;em&gt;interregnum&lt;/em&gt; between Old Big Media and the nascent New Media.

Hah!  I used the "word of the day".</description>

		<description>Peter,
The analysis is what powers, for example, the connections among players. So from, say, Angelina Jolie's page, you traverse connections to Africa and the U.N. or to Hollywood and celebrities. There's more to this that isn't visible in this iteration and the top-down view isn't visible at all. But those are examples of what can be tamed from the API. 
As for the role of editors, which is what you're really talking about, I agree; in a completely open world, there's more need for editing (read: no gatekeeping but selection, digging, vetting, and adding perspective) than before. As I said above, I think we're heading to an architecture -- not just technical, but in a business sense -- of needing to support (find, send audience to) journalism at its source; we hope this powers that. Finally, it's also necessary for editors to present not just their coverage but their coverage in the context of other coverage (here's our story, says the Times of Anytown and here's the coverage of the Timeses of New York, London, and India). These, I hope, will be tools that help you and your harried friends - which is all of us -- find better coverage, coverage closer to events, coverage from different perspectives. 

Steve,
Thank you. Good feedback. Keep it coming. 

Captious,
There are thousands of sources with more being added constantly (especially blogs). I know you there are sources to please you in that sauce. 

Jeremy,
Thanks. See, yes, there is always a need for editing.</description>

		<description>[...] Daylife Disappointing &#8212; Even In its Design. January 4th, 2007 at 10:00 pm by Tony So, Daylife, the startup that Mike Arrington invested in so many moons ago, has finally unveiled itself (even to Mike), and lo and behold, even in spite of its A-list backers and their supporters, it is profoundly underwelming, with perhaps one exception. Daylife is a news aggregator, much in the vein like Topix, Google News and Techmeme. [...]</description>

		<description>Congratulations, Jeff, to the launch of Daylife. Interesting approach to news in the online-era. 
Yet I strongly disagree with you saying "it analyzes the news". At best, it puts together some statistical numbers about the flow of the news and it's redundance. This is not news-analysis but search-engine vodoo which has nothing  to do with relevance whatsoever. 
Interestingly enough I see more and more of our collegues in the media switching their personal habits from being complete newsjunkies to very delibaretly picking a handful of trusted sources and authors (and bloggers) which provide a much more efficient way of getting a view of the world. 
At the same time, all my not-so-media-savvy friends tend to become stressed out newsjunkies, getting lost in the ocean of sugar-coated peanuts in an age of everything-is-realtime-and-therefore-news. It's tempting at first, and then it gets overwhelming and frustrating. Or why is it Daylife claims to have a "hand-picked" selection of topics on it's "Cover"? 

I am completely conviced that, while the "gatekeeping" days of journalism are over, the "sorting and preparing"-job will become more important as we see portals flooding people with "here's everything completely raw, go figure out out what's important to you".

Funny enough you praise the machine-made linkage in Daylife as addictive as popcorn. It's exactly the comparison one of my journalistic teachers used to challenge the newspapers tendency to catch up with all the noise in electronic media and turn away from background and news-analysis to publish more, shorter and more entertaining "news". It's like Popcorn: Buckets of tasty flakes lacking any nutrition value.

The "New Yorker" has never tasted better.</description>

		<description>[...] Jeff erkl&#228;rt in seinem Blog, bei Daylife handle es sich um eine Medienmaschine, die Inhalte f&#252;r grosse und kleine Dienste im Web via spezieller Schnittstellen bereit halte. Ausserdem biete es eine Analyse dar&#252;ber, wer wann und wo &#252;ber welche Themen berichte. &#8220;Aber vor allem, und das ist wichtiger, erm&#246;glicht es Euch, die Verbindungen ind en Geschichten zwischen menschen und andern Themen zu sehen. Diese Verbindungen aufzuzeigen ist es, was News ausmacht.&#8221; Dem kann ich nur zustimmen, aber ich sehe den Gedanken nicht einmal zur H&#228;lfte umgesetzt: Vor allem die &#8220;Analyse&#8221; ist nicht viel mehr als eine Statistik &#252;ber die Berichterstattung zu einem Thema, und das hat mit Relevanz leider &#252;berhaupt nichts zu tun.

		<description>[...] The much-buzzed-about news sote Daylife is now up and running. It combines Web 2.0 elements with conventional news aggregation into a visually unique format. Craig Newmark of craigslist fame is a top investor, as is the NY Times, Mike Arrington (who is apparently not pleased with the outcome), Dave Winer and others. This is not a review. I thought I&#8217;d encourage you all to check it out and review it here yourselves. In the spirit of Daylife, this should be an open review. Jeff Jarvis, a longtime friend of LR, consulted on the project. Jeff explains his role and the site&#8217;s mission here. Again - I&#8217;m not reviewing it, but I will offer two immediate observations: The cover page with rotating &#8220;big pictures&#8221; is very cool, and the graphical choices are quite good. But I&#8217;m surprised the site doesn&#8217;t offer RSS, commenting or other key social networking features. [...]</description>

		<description>Jeff: 

Since you're asking, an immediate, Blink suggestion I'm sure someone's already thought of: the frontpage thumbnails should have a headline with them when I mouse over. Right now I just see the date above and "Getty Images" below. A headline would help me decide.</description>
