The first release of the Ongo iPad app that I’ve worked on has just been released on the App store! Go forth and download. Free 30 day trial too, give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
I promise that some day I’ll make a much longer post about the internet and news and my thoughts on the subject, but for now I’ll just say that I’ve been a paying customer of Ongo.com since my first interview. There are so many different ideas out there competing for the future of news publishing and I’m really rooting for someone like Ongo to win. Newspapers need money to survive. Some are moving behind pay walls, some are using advertising. I can’t stand advertisements. The cost of a service like Ongo ($6/month, cheap!) is well worth it to me in order to have a clean, ad-free experience. I think there are a lot of people who would agree with me. Here’s hoping our service finds it’s way into their hands.
