Jim ray, at Off the Hoof, Mule's Blog:

Now, we’re all constantly awash in a torrent of news-like “updates”, in between fake celebrity death tweets, divorce notices on Facebook and new-puppy tumblrs. How is anyone supposed to sift through all of that to get to the important stuff? The answer to Jim's question is Evening Edition. Mule has launched a clean, concise summary of the day's news published in time for your commute home that talks about the major news events of the day in short summaries, linking to more in-depth versions of the story. Evening Edition is edited by the lovely Anna Rascouët-Paz. As I told Katie and Mike over Twitter earlier: Evening Edition + Instapaper = commuter heaven.
