Totally makes sense, and it's pretty sweet to see that The Internet is still maturing as a medium, especially in news.

Also, Vox is up: www.vox.com

Pretty pleased with what I've seen so far... the card system is basically a glorified FAQ, but once the site starts filling out it seems like it could be a great tool for following news going forward.

Surprising amount of content so far in the few days it's been live... this is a massive undertaking because basically for every breaking news item, they need to construct the underlying cards.

Great looking site, I dig the relative simplicity and the fact that highlighted text (my "nervous" browsing habit) is yellow and not blue.

As a sidenote, I'm also impressed with the neutrality being exhibited thus far with the political hot button topics... for this to really get off the ground it needs to maintain credibility, especially considering Klein's political clout.
