News, News, everywhere, nor a story to read

I guess the first question most people will ask is simply, Why another News site? Well simple, no ones nailed it.

Now I'm not the greatest newsy around, I don't keep track of every development in every breaking story but I do like to keep up to date with the topics of interest to me. Over the years I've found plenty of resources, from aggregates to individual publishers but the one thing that struck me was the lack of a single point of entry when discovering news. There is simply no definitive news leader, regardless of tag lines you may hear.

So my goal was simple, become the leader.

So here we are, 1 year into 15 Minute News existence and still more mountains to climb. No one said taking charge would be easy, after all the competition is well established and well stocked.

But never fear, I'm not dissuaded with the challenges ahead and I hope you'll stick around and see what tricks I have up my sleeve.
