Zite Personalized Magazine in iTunes
Zite magazine. I use this as a secondary source to check the news.It automatically gives you 10-15 of the top news stories.This will get you weblinks and stories from all non subscription magazine and newspapers. Even obscure ones. It is not all hard news. (facts, figures and quotes), but also analysis and commentary. I see this being useful for those who need to do current event reports, or get topics for networking meetings. Also for the ones who need topics to talk about at parties. I like it because it is customizable to obtain only the stories on the topics that you want to know about. For example, I set it for baseball. Let it refresh, and had all the baseball news to talk to my husband about over dinner. Another example is obscure news about ufo's. My sister often brings up some story about some sighting or another. Now, I can get the story first and email it to her. It has become something of a game between us. (Try to scoop the other with a bizarre news story.) On the downside...each story has a graphic. But the graphic does not always match what the story is about. The headline is trustworthy, but not the graphic.
