About Daypop News
Personally, I think it's one of the most creative takes on news that has emerged online.from words of waldman: The wonder of Daypop
...
Rather than the idea of the Daily Me - which is based on the stated prefereces - or learned behaviour - of an individual, Daypop provides us with a Daily We, a news offering based on the preferences of thousands of people. Although the beauty is...none of them ever really state their preferences. They just link to what they think is interesting on the net, and Daypop does the rest.
...
The same is true of Google News, but the contrast between it and Daypop couldn't be sharper. Google News homoegenises news. It removes the local and the quirky (the very thing that many media outlets are most proud of) and promotes the uniform and standard. Daypop tends to do exactly the opposite: it elevates the quirky (today's top story: Japanese Scientists develop invisible cloak), the contrary, the geeky, sexy and shocking.
