I'm sure you're right. There's just not enough people writing to explain random complex subjects to people that don't study that field. And i'm correlating the concept of "news" with interesting information, when news reporting is basically repeating that which happens every single day. Thank you for the link, that may be just what I was looking for.

Many thanks for thebrowser.com. Something similar; http://www.aldaily.com

I remember this site envisioned the idea of realising original content:

Quite how you measure that though... I always liked the idea.

Thanks for a link to thebrowser.com. This is fantastic.
