The much-buzzed-about news site Daylife is now up and running. It combines Web 2.0 elements with conventional news aggregation into a visually unique format. Craig Newmark of craigslist fame is a top investor, as is the NY Times, Mike Arrington (who is apparently not pleased with the outcome), Dave Winer and others. This is not a review. I thought I’d encourage you all to check it out and review it here yourselves. Jeff Jarvis, a longtime friend of LR, consulted on the project. Jeff explains his role and the site’s mission here. Again – I’m not reviewing it, but I will offer two immediate observations: The cover page with rotating “big pictures” is very cool, and the graphical choices are quite good. But I’m surprised the site doesn’t offer RSS, commenting or other key social networking features. (UPDATE: Jarvis now notes that RSS and other features will be forthcoming.)
