Please make PandoDaily faster…

Dear Sarah Lacy

I, like many readers, have watched from the sidelines as the tech blogging world tries to eat itself. I don’t mind a bit of ‘personal character’ in my tech news – and so whilst these shenanigans are a sideline to my tech news – I don’t mind too much. What I really like though – is when this turmoil leads to innovation – and that, Sarah, brings me to the point of this post.

I want to congratulate you on trying to do something a little bit different with PandoDaily. I really would like to see this succeed. I like the idea that I can get a one paragraph take on current news, and then link to the full thing if I am still interested. But for the love of all that is good and right – can you please speed up your site? I mostly visit PandoDaily on my mobile device. It is part of my daily tech news reading. But it is so SLOW. It takes forever to load. It may possibly be the slowest loading thing in my daily feed (although it may just seem this way because I go to it many times). And unless it gets a lot faster I am sadly going to have to remove Pando from my daily feed.

You will probably never see this post, I really just wrote it to assuage my own ‘guilt’ at the thought of removing Pando. I love seeing innovation. I love seeing new things tried… and I like it even more when they seem as though they could be very useful to me. So I really want to support PandoDaily, I really want it to change the way I get my tech news… but it needs to load super fast on my mobile browser. It.Just.Has.To. 

Regards
