loving every bit-of-news

the moment i realised i loved bit-of-news, was when i suddenly stopped receiving it. at first i thought they had a glitch (like they did once before), so i just waited for the next day to get the bit-of-news. but nope, still no news. i really was frustrated and started googling and looking for the website and stuff, and i realised there weren't any problems. it's just me, how come?

and i realised i must really like bit-of news, if not i wouldn't be able to constantly checking for it and finding ways to get my next bit of news.

i wanted to sign up for it again to see if there were problems with the previous one, but i didn't want to receive duplicate emails...until i noticed the .edu standard signup. then i realised i must have signed up for it under my berkeley/stanford email. so i checked. and lo and behold! i signed up for it with my stanford email, which means they have finally cut me off of the stanford email as of 10/15, which was why i stopped receiving bit-of-news.

wow. with that one bit-of-news thing, i discovered two useful pieces of info:
1. i love bit-of-news.
2. stanford emails won't forward to me anymore!

why i love bit-of-news? it's a great concept for ppl like me who hate trawling through long newspapers (and getting hands dirty), and hate trawling through endless internet news that are half junk half politics. i would rather get interesting snack-bites that are things i would never find otherwise, but were just curated there for me!

they're great for posting to facebook and upping my klout score too koko :D
