Nicely done - I like the simple styling for pulling in a multitude of news stories and presenting them in a format proven to work for news sites (The Daily Mail uses this for example to pull readers in to other stories). Unfortunately the content doesn't really live up to the website, because it is popular content, not quality content.

I'd love exactly the opposite of this - something celebrating slow news and thoughtful reactions to the world around us. Unfortunately it seems all the pressures in our society militate towards instant and ephemeral bite-sized nuggets of information, and we enjoy novelty and excitement above all. I wonder if there is a place somewhere for quality, even if it is not popular, it might be worthwhile.
