Web Spy: News.me

By Laura Dondero

In this “information age” that we live in, news spreads quickly — and nothing moves faster than Twitter! I love that I can rely on Twitter to provide me with breaking news and celebrity gossip pretty much as soon as it happens.

But as much as I love Twitter for how fast it provides information, that’s also what makes it hard to keep track of at times. There’s nothing I hate more than logging onto Twitter after not going on for a few days and having to scroll through hundreds of Tweets.

But now there’s a way to ensure you get all the top stories from Twitter every day, without having to monitor your feed constantly: News.me.

The premise behind News.me is simple: every day, News.me scans tweets and posts by who you follow on Twitter and Facebook and provides you with the top five stories via an easy-to-read feed in an iPhone/iPad app or a daily email.

If all that wasn’t cool enough, News.me also lets you create and save an offline reading list, so you can continue to read the news even when you don’t have an internet/cell phone connection (like the subway, for example). And News.me is also interactive — post your responses or comments to a story to continue the conversation, and follow what others have to say as well.

News.me makes it easy and enjoyable to keep up with what’s going on in the world — you’ll never miss an important news story again!
