The Craig Newmark-backed online news play may be as secretive as ever but at least it has a name to Google for more info as it comes out: Daylife.

Reports said Monday that Jeff Jarvis, in writing about another news site, NewAssignment.Net, said: “Daylife will gather, analyze, organize and create a new, distributed platform for the world’s news.”

The TechWeb report said the site would provide technical and distribution help to NewAssignment, which aims to encourage “smart mobs” of regular citizens to submit ideas and report the news through a process they’re calling “open source journalism.”
