Our sharp-eyed readers will have noticed changes in Grist's news section.
Used to be, we had the Daily Grist: five (or so) news blurbs, sent out via email and published in the eponymous section of the site.
Only five blurbs? you ask incredulously. Published once a day? That's not very internety!
We know. Thus the changes. The Daily Grist still exists, but only as an email. On the website, it has been replaced with a new and more active news section, creatively titled ... In the News. That section will be updated throughout the day and will bring you more of the green news you need to know. Subscribe to the aforementioned email or sign up for the rss feed: http://www.grist.org/rss/news.rss
So, on the upside: more news, faster.
On the downside: Pathos hates the new name.
What do you think of the name? Any you wiseguys got a better idea?

Where did you get the name Grist anyway? (goes off and finally reads the "About Grist" section, finds nothing about grist, but hey! you're in Seattle - cool)

That's actually a downside to me. Good news is about good editing & news selection. I've always liked the Daily Grist because it was limited -- presumably to the most informative or interesting news of the day.
Now, I have to wade through yet another potentially infinite blog-like page. Already the amount of information is about double what it was before, and will surely increase over time. I've got too much news coming at me already; it's not a benefit to have more.
