There should be an autoplay button below so the stories scroll through like a presentation. Once you click on any the news appears with saving and arcival capabapities for the future. The picture slider with the news photos is very sttractive , news companies wil definately have an eye on it. Well this is good , here is my two cents

And it's specifically because human-chosen news is so slanted ( in BOTH directions ) today that people have sought out broader forms of acquiring information ( both up to date and archival ). The concept that ANYONE who would access DayLife would NOT immediately think of RSS ( or newsfeed ) is ridiculous. That sort of person wouldn't even be seeking out news via the web. Even my mother hates to look through the local paper's website for news information. She got tired of it, so I set her up with some newsfeeds from NYT, Washington Post, and others. Browsing through DayLife WITHOUT the ordering capabilities which could be built into an RSS feed would be painful at best, and plain nuts at worst.
