I'm loving NextDraft. 10 striking bits of news wittily annotated, delivered daily to my inbox. A must-read.

If the best of The New York Times, The Daily Show and Twitter were sucked into a black hole, Dave Pell's NextDraft would come out the other side.

NextDraft is like Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. But it comes every day, not just Saturday night. And it's more consistently funny.

Simply the best web curator around. Somehow Dave knows what I will be interested in. If I had to cut down to one incoming email a day, it would be NextDraft.

Tom Counts, Lawyer

As a busy professional, I look forward to Dave's daily emails which give me a glimpse of the day's news in a hysterically funny yet informative way.

My name is Dave Pell and I've got a problem.

I've been news obsessed since I was a kid. The realtime Internet turned that budding news addiction into a full-fledged, never-ending affliction. And that's good news for you. Because, over the years, I've become a curation savant. Each morning I visit about fifty news sites and from that swirling nightmare of information quicksand, I pluck the top ten most fascinating items of the day, which I deliver with a fast, pithy wit that will make your inbox vibrate with delight.

I've been writing and working on the web for years. My current blog, Tweetage Wasteland, is syndicated on NPR, Gizmodo, Forbes and Huffington Post, and the reaction to my average Tweet is not unlike the one the Beatles got during their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Imagine this: You'll actually look forward to email again. It's totally free and almost no one ever unsubscribes. The subscription form is up there, just a few pixels away. Go ahead. Give your inbox some awesome.
