Frankly,, I'm surprised that news.me still exists, never mind that they were hiring. Good news on both fronts. I'm someone who has no problem paying for content, but I think news.me made a huge mistake by launching with a pay wall before proving to users that it was any different from other Twitter aggregators. It definitely did not win in the polish department.
Where were you 6 months ago? :)
Thanks for the comment. Following the spinout from bitly, we're assuming a more ambitious vision for the app. Stay tuned...
(ps we're big fans of pro publica. keep up the great work!)
I checked out news.me when it launched and you guys were very gracious to give me another free trial so I could try it again. However, I didn't get into it then...but I'm definitely not someone who uses his iPad for reading outside of the browser or kindle app, so take my ignorance with a grain of salt :)
