The website's staff members are nervously awaiting their fate, but in the meantime took to Tumblr to mount a defense of Newsweek.com, praising its work while saying it has "always remained an ugly stepchild to its print grandparents, who were too busy burning money to notice."

Some eye-opening iPad stats: We got a few more pieces of data on iPad use in the past week, including some quick, interesting stats from The Wall Street Journal showing that iPad use jumps in the evening, while computer use drops. (Smart phone is relatively steady throughout the day.) This seems to correlate with what many have suspected about the iPad — that it's being used as more of a leisure device than phones or computers.
Business Insider had quite a few more fascinating stats from its survey of iPad owners, finding, among other things, that most iPad owners are using their iPads more than when they first got the device, 30% are using it as their primary computer, they're spending as much time with it as they are their laptops, and about equal numbers of people use the browser and apps to read news.

News Corp., by the way, is reported to be close to launching its much-talked-about tablet news publication, and The Economist dropped its own iPad app this week.

Google News' crediting experiment: One cool little story worth highlighting: Google News announced it's introducing two tags for articles that will help indicate which articles were the first to report a story and which articles are essentially the same story on different sites.
