They are based in the Netherlands, my home country and they have deals with all major newspapers here, so I am not missing out on anything.
I highly recommend you give this a shot.
Note: I am not associated with Blendle in any way. Just a happy user spreading the word.
Today the people behind blendle launched a new product, Medianieuwsbrief.nl To me another pointer that blendle is no longer viable and they are looking for new products.
They are what others describe causing brand erosion, as they collect articles from lots of sources, readers will forget/not know who actually wrote the article, which newspaper the good articles come from etc.
Jeez. I didn't know the situation became that bad. I didn't notice because I mostly read American news. From what I quickly read on for example NRC [0], they pulled their content because Blendle introduced the concept of a subscription and that would cut profits for NRC.
The new concept Medianieuwsbrief.nl looks like a last resort kinda thing. I doubt it would take off.
