Unwrapping some new features at DailyMe

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

At this time of year, it’s typical that you decorate your house and make it look good for the holidays. We’ve been doing a lot of sprucing up at DailyMe, too. Among the changes you’ll find:

• New “front pages” for your personalized DailyMe section and the community-driven DailyWe sections. Users told us they wanted to see a snapshot of all their personalized news categories on one page, so we brought them together in the new DailyMe front page . Similarly, the DailyWe front page rounds up the most popular news items by views and by Meme-It emotion.

• A new Opinion section that rounds up our editor’s picks from among the editorials and columns we get from top newspapers and other sources.

• Revamped political coverage for the post-election period, offering news on the transition in a new Presidency section and updates on congressional activity in our Capitol Hill section .

• A special page on the troubled auto industry in our Money section to wrap up developments.

• A facelift on all our section pages to increase the readability of headlines and summaries.

And don’t forget to check out the Holidays page in our Lifestyles section for a sleigh full of recipes, tips and advice on surviving the season.

Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

What’s black and white and readable all over?

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

A long and much awaited day has arrived: Select DailyMe feeds are now available through Amazon’s Kindle . The addition of the Kindle delivery platform supports our mission to deliver quality news to our audience – wherever, whenever.

The past few years have been an interesting time in media consumption. We have observed how technology has led the way in shifting control away from publishers and into the hands of end users. Kindle, much like DailyMe, exemplifies this shift by empowering readers to select their content, sources, delivery format and schedule. We see Kindle feeds as a natural extension of DailyMe’s delivery options.

Currently, DailyMe is offering four news feeds on Kindle with plans to increase this number over the year. These feeds include:

DailyMe Literati : A treasure chest of reviews and news about the wonderful world of books and literature

DailyMe Monitor : A sampler of today’s most interesting stories from hundreds of popular sources

DailyMe @Home : The best stories from landscaping and design to food and wine

DailyMe Better You : From personal finance and consumer news to self-improvement and career

Lastly, as a Kindle owner, I appreciate and recognize the benefits of using an e-reader for reading subscription based content, books and magazines especially when I am traveling. I have advocated the distribution of DailyMe through the Kindle since last fall when I first bought the Kindle. Thanks in large part to our editorial and technology teams, this vision has become a reality.
