In the world of Twitter ... even 4-5 characters could work. ;)
I actually subscribed because I had expiring airline miles that I had to use up on something and it was one of the options. That said, I'm planning to renew. I've found that I am so overloaded with information on a daily basis that the shorter summaries are a lot easier to keep up with -- and because the summaries quote their sources anything that I want to delve into deeper I already have a short list of good articles to check out.
(Side note: I'm a tech blogger, so I spend my week immersed in tech news and The Week magazine allows me to catch up on all the other news I may have missed, which is nice.)
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agohaha, please don't encourage a twitter competitor with a 4-5 character limit. :-o Yup, the goal is to make the consumption of tech news simpler. Definite links back to other valuable sources + analysis for those who want to dig in deeper. Not sure if you saw it earlier in the thread, but this site Brijit is similar to TheWeek. Sadly, they just closed shop. Wait... you mean there's "other news" out there besides tech?
- catone 18y agoAh yes, I remember Brijit. Even longer ago, in the late 90s/early 00s there was a site called BriefMe that did email newsletters based around the same concept. Similarly, it also closed up shop -- possibly for the same reason (it was paying people $5 per short summary and I guess couldn't break even on the other end).
