The complete Mt Gox timeline: http://newslines.org/mt-gox/

Wow Newslines is a cool idea, thanks for pointing that out.

It's just another blogspam site. You can get the same thing out of any blogging platform using tags / categories.

Thank you for your critique, but Newslines is not a blogspam site. Our writers create news summaries about any topic that are compiled into sortable timelines. The objective is to give real understanding of how topics and people develop over time, as in the example of Mt Gox, where our timeline of events is the definitive record of news about the exchange. If you can find a site that does the same then please let me know as I am genuinely interested.

I understand the site's goals and I'm not saying it's a bad concept. The reason I called it blogspam is because none of it seems to be original content and citations seem to be optional (example[1]). If every post was a link to the primary source with a summary attached it would be much better. As it stands right now it's WordPress with SEO targeted content taken from other sites, the definition of blogspam.

Hi, All our posts should be sourced to the original. I must have missed adding the source to that post. It's there now. Thanks you for pointing that out.
