Brijit, Read Magazine Faster [Cool Links]

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

What is Brijit anyway?

Brijit aggregates the world’s best long-form content and abstracts it in 100 words or less, providing busy, omnivorous, and increasingly mobile readers with rich, qualitative summaries as well as better guideposts for what to read, watch or listen to now. We produce these abstracts in concert with our readers, as one community of readers, writers and editors. Think of us as your well-read friend who leads you to that can’t miss article, video clip or product.

Why does brijit even exist?

We wish deep down that we were the kind of people who could read the Economist AND the New Yorker cover-to-cover every week, watch the Sunday morning political shows, and never miss an hour of This American Life. But we’re not. And chances are, neither are you. Because who’s got the time? And that’s why we’re building Brijit. Our mission is simple: make it easy for all of us to discover and access the world’s best content, quickly, inexpensively and on our own terms.

It’s a very good alternative for someone who didn’t have time or money to read all magazine. I’ve subscribed some of theirs, like The Huffington Post, Newsweek, and, everybody’s favorite, O Magazine.
