Waiting for Daylife to launch

If you haven’t heard of the site, well, you should. It’s a citizen news startup funded by Craig Newmark (yes, Craig from Craigslist) with Jeff Jarvis as editor-in-chief. “Daylife will gather, analyze, organize and create a new, distributed platform for the world’s news,” explains Jarvis, who won’t say much more about it (yet). The site is still in super-secret mode, and all you can glean from it is the fact they’re looking for a ton of engineer/dev types. Somehow, it will be linked to NewAssignment, a site under development that aims to encourage “smart mobs” of regular folks to submit ideas and cover the news.
