What it does

If you’re the type of person who tires of picking through news sites like CNN.com for the stories you want, you probably have already been in the market for a news aggregator. HeadlinesGlobe is one such tool. With HeadlinesGlobe, you can specify which news articles you want displayed on your personal dashboard, which you personalize with your choice of languages, news source (CBS news, CNN, ABC, The Chicago Tribune, etc) and category of story. Each list is divided into category by source, and is displayed in order of the time it was posted. You can directly access each story by clicking on it, which re-directs you to the url of the source and the story itself. To personalize stories in accordance with your own preferences and to choose your sources, you’ll need to sign up for the site (it’s free). Additionally, if you stumble across a story that you feel should be displayed on HeadlinesGlobe, you can submit it to the site yourself.

In their own words



Why it might be a killer

HeadlinesGlobe is easy to personalize and provides links to literally hundreds of breaking news stories. It simplifies the task of searching out the latest stories by aggregating the most important and latest ones in the same place.

Some questions

The site seems somewhat rudimentary in design and preferences are somewhat limited; will users be able to set a time limit on the stories they want displayed? Also, the categories aren’t particularly extensive; there are only about ten or so.
