Gal Arav, founder of Instantbull.com appears to hit it out of the park again with a new project. He launched a new site that aggregates news in a very innovative way. The site is named Newsflashr and it promises a faster way to track all the most credible news sources. The site focuses on keywords when aggregating news and then displays popular keywords in a cloud like format. When you click on a keyword, it displays links to current news. I have to say, I tried it and it was very fast and I am really impressed at how innovative this idea is. Here are a few excerpts from their site:
- hot topics are extracted from all the most credible news sources in order to display the "collective intelligence" of all the top news editors
- results are displayed within a "hot topic news cloud" in order to transparently link matching news headlines at unprecedented client-side speed (competing services are slower due to their use of standard server-side retrieval operations)
- mainstream news and blog categories can be easily compared while viewing each news source's independent traffic rankings (provided by Alexa, an Amazon, Inc. company)
- search and track popular topics in news headlines up to 7 days old; search results are immediately displayed in a convenient summary matrix
- customize the "freshness" of highlighted topics and corresponding headlines
- access all headlines on one concise page in either "feeds view" or "topics view", including photos and images in the news that match selected topics
I use google to aggregate my rss feeds, but I have always felt my news feeds were slow and overwhelming with stories I wasn't interested in. I can easily see myself using Newsflashr to check breaking news stories.
Check it out Newsflashr.com when you have a chance.
