Perhaps the real problem is that it appears on Planet Maemo...along with the very news it's trying to digest. Maybe Planet Maemo needs to be tweaked. For instance, I remember complaints about FireFox Mobile news being delivered in a twitter style (a short blurb that tends to say nothing followed by a link that is just a redirection). I thought someone had agreed to eliminate those from Planet Maemo. Furthermore, there have been a lot of posts about "tracker" which for a log time I didn't know what it was (it replaced metacrawler) but those blogs tend to be very technical and often not apparently related to Maemo at all. Frankly I don't want to see a post in planet maemo unless the blog post contains one of the following: 770,800,810,900, extras, meego, maemo, nokia, ovi store.

Bottom line, I don't think Maemo News is really necessary, what we need is a better Planet Maemo. Then, if people don't want to read an article right now, they just keep their Planet rss feed "unread" until they can.

I'm not a big fan of digests in general, I want small chunks I can read or dismiss, leaving interest articles to be read at my convenience. The digest format is actually....less digestible.
