Does anyone these days still subscribe to Newsletters?
Very Short List (VSL).

In their own words:

Very Short List (VSL) is a free, daily e-mail newsletter that points to excellent new (and sometimes vintage) entertainment, media, and cultural things that haven’t been hyped to within an inch of their lives. […] The focus is on cultural products that really deserve attention but haven’t already been subject to giant media pile-ons.

Recent items I received and truly enjoyed include:
Coldplay cover by a group of senior citizens
Streaming live concert archives from The Cure, Elvis Costello and many others
Notes on a scandal

Why is this Newsletter compelling?
to you is a challenge. Google searches are great for data but don’t work well for finding and recommending digital entertainment. Other popular ways of selecting items like the “wisdom” of crowds (e.g., digg) quickly become a race to the lowest common denominator in order to attract pageviews.

Going forward, online taste-makers or curators will become increasingly relevant.

If you like it, you will come with me to the conclusion that in digital media and entertainment sometimes less is more.
