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!

News with All the Trimmings

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The DailyMe editors usually devote most of our attention to our bread and butter – the top news and events of the day. But even we occasionally break to enjoy something other than bread and butter. Our latest foray into something more savory is our Holidays page in our Lifestyles section. While we created the page for Halloween, it’s really taken off with the approach of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You’ll find a delicious mix of stories from leading newspapers on the page, giving you holiday travel advice, decorating tips, recipes and more. Don’t forget to check out the videos, where you can see tips for picking the right wine for Thanksgiving or keeping down costs as you entertain. Bon appetit!

In case you didn’t notice, we’ve added a couple of other new sections as well. Our Opinion page carries a selection of editorials and columns from top newspapers. With the election behind us, we’ve revamped our Politics section to provide coverage of the transition in our The Presidency section and a closer look at what Congress is doing in our Capitol Hill section.

Our endorsement for best election resource: DailyMe

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

The U.S. presidential election is but two weeks away and you may be feeling overwhelmed by the exceptional levels of media coverage. How do you stay on top of developments that people are discussing? That’s exactly the problem DailyMe was created to solve – help you discover the news that is important and useful to you.

Are you a political news junkie, just want the latest buzz or want to dig into the issues? Our Election section has a full slate of news and information for you. In addition to a main news page and candidate pages, we recently added a page on where the candidates stand on issues such as taxes, global warming and energy. And last week, amid all the chatter about Joe the Plumber, we even created a special page on that topic. Expect more breakouts as news warrants.

Across all of the elections pages you’ll find articles from our top sources, plus video reports and feeds of Twitter comments.

Check it all out in our Election News section.
