Like you, I believe strongly that a successful personalized news experience will inform people better, and as a result, make us better citizens -- of wherever. One of the chief reasons -I think- why younger news consumers have grown disengaged of traditional media is because they have to sort through too much information that is of no interest to them. In addition, the news discovery function is growing fragmented (hence more democratic) and moving away from one editor and into the hands of multiple editors / users. Lastly, like you, I believe news democracy has always existed giving us the right to skip an uninteresting article, no matter how prominently it was promoted. Unlike earlier aggregators, DailyMe offers thousands of licensed sources to ensure we provide many perspectives on any given topic. If anything -at least we hope- DailyMe will strengthen our social glue by informing us better, by allowing us to discover news for our peers, and promoting discussion and debate.
