Hey HNers,
One of the things I've just launched is a dead-simple Daily Business Briefing. We send out 12 stories a day after scanning 2-3,000.<p>Some questions:
(a) Is it too simple?
(b) Will people want/need to personalised it?
(c) How should we get them to personalise it? (Explicitly or is there some better way?)<p>The link is here: http://bit.ly/Viewsflowdaily
a) No. I don't think it's too simple. I mean, look at Twitter? :)<p>b) I imagine people may want to personalize it, but I don't think that is something you need to worry about just yet. Keep it lean and mean. But that's my personal opinion.<p>c) Get them to flag individual items in the mail they get (I want more of this, I want less of this)<p>One thing I missed when going to the site was the ability to see what the last 2-3 days mails looked like. Before I sign up I'd like to see what I'm getting in to. :)
