I think the Bitshares ecosystem & the DAC world in general is going to take the world by storm in the next few years.
I think DAC's definitely warrant their own DAC-focused news site. Something like DACNews/DACWorld/DACcentric etc.
Bitshares already has a great forum and a website that is coming together. I believe our own news site could be the missing part of the puzzle.
If it was started by, affiliated to and at least partly owned by Bitshares, we could potentially have one of the most popular future news sites in the world!
What a great place that would be to showcase upcoming DAC's? It may even become one of the many reasons new DAC's may want to honour the Bitshares community.
DACWorld could have articles focusing on Bitshares developments, Bitshares DAC's as well as other DAC's and industry relevant news in general.
Possible Format According to topbitcoinsites.com, The Bitcoin + alt-coin focused news site,
http://www.coindesk.com/ is the third most popular Bitcoin site, behind Blockchain.info and Bitcointalk.org. so I would keep to that type of format as we know it's successful and there is a market for it. (Picture, title, first few lines of article or maybe a key passage to entice you.)
I would also have Bitshares price index (The way they have a Bitcoin price index) and I would also maybe list in a horizontal line underneath the top 5-10 DAC's by market caps and maybe the day's biggest movers.
Also a lot of the audience I think Brian is trying to target would use a Coindesk format type site a lot more often than they'd visit the Bitshares.org website or the Bitshares forum. (Personally I hardly visit the Bitcointalk forum these days, but I visit Coindesk almost everyday.)
On that note, having seen Brian in this Inside Bitcoins NY summary http://vimeo.com/91758432 , I think he is very personable, speaks and comes across well. I think he would be great to present a 3-4 min weekly roundup of Bitshares and DAC-industry related news every week to webcam. (With BM occasionally doing pieces to camera on technical developments.) Something similar to the Bitcoin News roundup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waT2mZhrX1U (The Bitcoin round up is a bit weak, but it is very investor & key news focused which I think is great. Personally @ 90 seconds I think it is a bit short and I would personally like to watch news on circa 5 minutes of the most relevant content each week.)
Starting it upObviously a fully fledged news site may eventually need it's own full time site focused person, but we could conceivably start something small now, however slowly.
BM & others have already written good summaries on key Bitshares developments which could be easily put into an article format to start to start up the content.
Other: I can also perhaps see a DACMarketcap type site specifically tracking DAC's becoming as popular as coinmarketcap. A site to track the value of all the Bitshares linked DAC's in one place could certainly be useful.
