  • But, seriously guys, everyone does this. Bring backTP!

    Ok, Slate. I've tried ''Slatest'' for the week. I've signed up for my thrice daily emails. I've given it a shot. It's ok. It's similar to what every other news aggregator does, except maybe not as well. As with other aggregators, I've seen some interesting links. But it's no TP. TP is how I start every morning. If I don't have time for ...

  • "Today's Papers" and "In Other Magazines" Were Perfect

    There's got to be some other reason why Slate decided to get rid of Today's Papers and In Other Magazines. They were both perfect. The Slatest is not a better news aggregator. It is too twitterish - suffers from attention deficit disorder. Hmm, maybe TP and IOM were too expensive for Slate to continue. A shame really. I hate it when great ...

  • Slatest Fails to Replace Today's Papers

    What I liked about Today's Papers was that it provided a one-page summary and analysis of the major news headlines, and it had personality and humor. Slatest is just a collection of links, like so many others. I have no interest in clicking through a dozen pages. I read the online NYT when I have time; Today's Papers is--was the quick and ...

  • Bring Back Morning Papers!

    I gave it two mornings with the slatest, I tried to be open, but I want morning papers back. The prose roundup explained not just what stories were covered, but more importantly--how. Was one story the lead in all of the five majors or did each focus on something different? It also went more into the content of the important stories without ...

  • Fine, let's try it, but...

    I don't know about other people, but the most common experience I have with Slate is that of clicking on the number ''2'' at the bottom of an article to go to the next page, and waiting...and waiting...while the browser hangs there until I give up or try again. There are countless Slate essays of which I have only read the first page. If this ...

  • I'll give Slate the benefit of the doubt and try

    I have been reading Today's Papers daily for more than a decade. It's part of how I wake up in the morning. Like Thomas Picton, guadupede and others who've posted here today, I do not see a reason to change it. I continued to go first to Today's Papers, and then to other news sources, because TP would summarize how the major papers were reporting ...

  • Slatest

    We will read Slatest. But not necessarily like it.

  • Slate FAIL (plus an online TP alternative)

    I cannot begin to express my disappointment with the decision to discontinue Today's Papers. Even more so than multivitamins or dark roast coffee, TP has been my daily launch pad for years now. I have never commented on a news article or even viewed Fray comments before, but I feel I have no choice but to register my frustration now. Others ...
