Boris Kachka, New York Magazine

> Longform.org is one of a handful of websites that made an early bet on the survival of feature writing in a click-bait world. Now, with their week-old app for the iPhone, a one-stop journalism shop where Twitter meets Hudson News, founders Max Linsky and Aaron Lammer are not only doubling down on that bet, but embracing a less heroic epithet than the well-worn “long-form”: aggregator.

> Streaming music has finally overtaken the CD in music sales. But can it be the new business model for the music industry?
