Techcrunch, Mashable, New Media Guardian, Digg, Youtube, Gawker, news sites, blogs, TGP porn sites… seriously, who has the time to keep up with everything that’s happening on the Internet every day?

Not me and not you - those hours refreshing Twitter aren’t going to waste themselves, right?

If only there was a way to find out everything you need to know about the Internet every day, in just a few short seconds.

Well now there is. I’m delighted to announce the launch of Haikurious.com - the entire day’s Internets reduced to 5-7-5 syllables.

Read it on the site, subscribe or add it to your own site via RSS or follow on Twitter - however you read it, Haikurious is all you need. Daily.

Drinkin' in the Mission with @sarahcuda, @livandlove and @sadkids 1 hr ago
Thinking that the owners of the "Video Only" store may be regretting their branding decision. 7 hrs ago
Right! Off for lunch with @sarahcuda and @livandlove at a cafe that sounds like the name of a shmaltzy teen drama. 8 hrs ago
During my employment, @sarahcuda wouldn't let me make eye contact with her and insisted I call her "your ladyship". Bit weird, tbh. 8 hrs ago
Just broke a hard and fast rule. Seem to be doing that a lot lately, and always for the same reason. 19 hrs ago
