Newsified
Newsified
Hi, I'm Luke Stevens and Newsified is my project. Thanks for stopping by!
There are a few things I set out to achieve with Newsified:
- I wanted a central location where I could get a birds-eyeview of popular social news sites (and Youtube for video) where I couldquickly skim the 90% of popular content that isn't covered on theirhome page, once or twice a day, whilst preserving the content 'flavor'of each site
- I wanted to see what social news would look like in a news format rather than the typical top-down blog style
- Finally, I wanted a test bed to run some simple, multivariate, data-driven design experiments
I'll explain each of these aims in more depth below.
TechCrunch
Unlike similar services like popurls, Alltop and Loud3r,Newsified presents the top content of various social news sites likenews articles instead of a simple list of links, with a headline ontop, short summaries if available and an indication of the originalsource with icon and direct clickthrough. This enables you to get anoverview of what's popular on the internet across different categories,all on a single page (which also means you'll be scrolling down quite abit).
Granted, Newsified isn't going to win freelance designer LukeStevens any prizes for innovation, but it's bound to be of interest tothose who like to stay on top of what's hot on the web, regardless ofwhat category it falls under.

First Pics Of Extra-Solar Planets Captured
Earth seems to have its first fuzzy photos of alien planets outside oursolar system, images captured by two teams of astronomers.
The pictures show four likely planets that appear as specks ofwhite, nearly indecipherable except to the most eagle-eyed experts. Allare trillions of miles away - three of them orbiting the same star, andthe fourth circling a different star.
None of the four giant gaseous planets are remotely habitable orremotely like Earth. But they raise the possibility of others morehospitable.
It is only a matter of time before "we get a dot that's blue andEarthlike," said astronomer Bruce Macintosh of the Lawrence LivermoreNational Lab. He led one of the two teams of photographers.
