I deleted my app for The Daily. It was just too awful.

Actually, it sort of traumatized me! My response was to subscribe to The Economist (much cheaper than its print version and an EXCELLENT iPad version with pix), and also start buying current and some older New Yorkers.

And to use my Wall Street Journal iPad subscription more than I had been -- they now have really great interviews and opinions on video embedded in the "newspaper," turns out.

I just had a sort of revulsion to content so lowbrow as The Daily was trying to push and had to compensate.
