New Daily Content Item

There are many different aspects on realsimple.com that refresh daily. The Daily Find is a section online that is complete service journalism. Each day Real Simple gives relevant information to the reader, the topics span from the "Best Kitchen Trash Bags" to today's topic, the "5 Grooming Gifts For Him." 

The Daily Find 2/14/2011

This is a great section for online because it does change daily and can be relevant for holidays and themes that the print publication might not be able to fit into print or isn't timely for the print version. This is also great because readers are able to browse through the many Daily Find archives. 

The drawback of this section is that I cannot tell if these are recycled ideas from past Daily Finds that previously ran or if they are unique ideas every day. The Daily Finds are not dated, so there is no way to know the uniqueness unless you are a frequent observer of the website. From what I can tell, since the beginning of the semester each Daily Find has been new each day. There is also a newsletter that accompanies this section. I have signed up for it and will update with information about how the two complement each other once I begin receiving the newsletters.
