NewsLite named a Top 100 Essential Website by The Guardian
Posted by Simon Crisp | Filed under Uncategorized
My off-beat news site NewsLite has been named as a ‘Top 100 Essential Website‘ by The Guardian newspaper — which is nice.Launched in January, 2008 it’s my home for funny, odd and off-beat news stories. Recent articles have included a woman who paints with espresso coffee, the boom in popularity of micro-pigs as pets and the world’s largest gummy bear (and to think I used to do ‘real’ news).
It has grown considerably over the past two years and is currently accessed by around 150,000 unique users per month.
Articles from NewsLite are syndicated to dozens of websites including Time Warner, USA Today and Chicago Sun-Times – where they are currently viewed around 800,000 times per day. Selected articles are also syndicated to national UK newspapers including the Telegraph, The Daily Mirror, The Sun and the Daily Mail.
So if you haven’t seen it yet, go have a look. Just don’t expect anything too highbrow.
