Not exactly a new site, but since it seems to be my Flash Week, have a look at Spectrum, a pretty sexy way to read the news. Select the categories you want to read about, save articles, change the appearance of the animations… Pretty inspiring.

According to a Universal McCann report, content consumed outside of websites has increased by 153% in the last 9 months. Furthermore,
