"This day in history", appearing in print, then radio, then on birthday cards, then television, then the internet. If you look, you'll find what you seek pretty much everywhere.
That was part of the initial concept. However almost all the news sites have an archives option, then I dropped this.
With sites like Dribbble/Youtube/HN if you miss one day, all is gone for good. If you miss the news in the web it is probable that you can catch that on the TV or maybe in the next days.
