It's an interesting way to look at the news. Check out the topic pages on the site. The site makes it really clear how people, places and organizations are related to each other which is rare on a lot of other sites. I really wish there was more of a community feel to the site though.
There's no such thing as bad publicity, and there's no better thing than honest criticism, especially from the people throwing money at your product. The fact that this story made the front page will do wonders for the new service's traffic.The method is unorthodox, but smart.
Seeing as he invested in the startup, wouldnt you have an overall idea of what the site was going to offer before launching other than thrashing it the minute it launched?

Good call by Arrington. Daylife is a little too late to enter that massively saturated market.

that logo looks like a cross between the XBox360 and Ubisoft logo...
