NEWS

The Compendium Daily has shut down. Founder JJ Thompson says he's moving onto other initiatives and handing over party and scene coverage to friend Ryan Emberley at his new site Cdaily.ca. Billing itself as Toronto's unofficial society page, Thompson's site first surfaced in 2009 and while it never seemed to grow beyond a devoted core audience, it did a stellar job delivering pretty, time-wasting photos.
