Our approach is different than Blendle's and we believe that both of us can happily co-exists.
To read articles using Blendle you have to do so through their app, where they act as a curator. They offer a select number of articles that they think you will like. If you want to read an article you have to pay a small fee that is split between Blendle and the newspaper that the article originated from. Some readers really like this approach since everything is gathered in one place, and Blendle's execution is top-notch.
We believe however that many readers would like to be their own curators. Many already frequent aggregate sites - like Hacker News - to find content they think they will like. And we would like to give the publishers of that content the ability to offer it through seamless micropayments, using their own apps or websites. They will then be in control of the entire reader experience, not having to outsource it to a third party.
So we believe Blendle and Scriber can happily co-exist since we basically cater to different audiences.
