Last Thursday, we got an email touting a new website for liberal Oregon newsjunkies: OregonLiberal.com.

The creator, Andrew, told us:

I am pleased to announce the launch of OregonLiberal.com, a free community-driven news aggregator with a liberal tilt. Modeled after the more technology-focused content management site Digg, Oregon Liberal provides Oregon Democrats with quick access to popular liberal news submitted and voted upon by fellow community members. It is the perfect complement to the established Oregon blog community.

But don’t we already have BlueOregon.com and LoadedOrygun.net? While they aren’t news aggregators, they certainly do a bang-up job keeping up with any liberal news of interest. And, speaking of which, would I really want to read a site that was just a liberal echo chamber of lefty news? Personally—though I like lefty commentary on any story—if you’re going to aggregate news, I’d like to see a full spectrum.

Guess I wasn’t the only one scratching my head. I came across Andrew’s email again today while cleaning out the ol’ inbox, and thought I’d give it a second try.

Too late:

Thank you for visiting OregonLiberal.com. My experiment with a Digg-styled news aggregator for liberal political news in Oregon seems to have failed. However, seeing as I own this domain name for the next year, I will be back shortly with a new site. At this time I do not know what form it will take, or whether it will just redirect to one of my blogs in the end.
