In the world of Twitter ... even 4-5 characters could work. ;)

I actually subscribed because I had expiring airline miles that I had to use up on something and it was one of the options. That said, I'm planning to renew. I've found that I am so overloaded with information on a daily basis that the shorter summaries are a lot easier to keep up with -- and because the summaries quote their sources anything that I want to delve into deeper I already have a short list of good articles to check out.

(Side note: I'm a tech blogger, so I spend my week immersed in tech news and The Week magazine allows me to catch up on all the other news I may have missed, which is nice.)
