TBD: First Takes on the Launch

TBD is live, though awaiting Apple’s placement of its app in iTunes. So we go from macro (“10 Reasons to Watch the TBD Launch,” to micro, as we all get look at the site, and can translate the good theory behind the site to its actual look, feel and execution.

First up this a.m. is Suzanne Yada’s good, detailed take on all the little social, interactive, map-based and other smart things the site has done. It’s a lot of little things done right, and culled from years of its founders’ experience on the web. Her big complaint: Not enough news, and not enough people to create local news.

Meanwhile, check out:

  • Editor Erik Wemple’s welcoming letter, laying out some basics of the site.
  • PaidContent’s interview with Robert Allbritton, who runs the company behind TBD, and Politico.

More to come.
