Daily Candy, Oh My

I used to live by Daily Candy to tell me where the "new" things were. Now, uh, not so much since they posted the same PR stuff as Urban Daddy on the same day.

I actually believed in Daily Candy's biz model but I guess things aren't going so well for them lately:

"DailyCandy is eliminating the special editions for seven of its twelve cities, according to an internal memo we've obtained, resulting in almost as many layoffs. NBC Universal, take heed: Even inside Comcast's profitable umbrella, no one is safe from cutbacks."

They used to be insiders but the growth of interactive, community and social media kind of killed them. Food for thought. News is instant, no longer print, no longer scheduled or controlled.

It's in our hands.
