Hot off the presses no longer really applies to a physical printing, but by the click of a submit button. What’s your favorite news source? Some subscribe to RSS feeds, and others simply pick up a paper from a news stand. If you’ve just recently entered the mobile world of technology here are a few great places to start:
- Paper.li – Create your own newspaper! This is a great take on getting the latest news in a more personalized way. You can adjust it to fit the topics you’re looking for, and they filter them into what looks like a blog and it picks up the content from various sources.
- Smartr– For those with an iPhone, iPad, or Android this is great for news lovers. This will make a personal newspaper stream out of your friends Twitter and Facebook updates.
- LinkedIn Today – This social newspaper is for business readers. You can follow specific industries for current news from companies, colleagues and more.
- Instapaper – A great service for saving articles to read later that we’ve talked about a few times on here. Visit our tools and links page for more details on how to use it for news aggregating.
- Zite– This is something from iPad magazine that allows you to tailor stories to your needs and gets more intuitive with every use.
These are just a few of hundreds of great apps, plugins, and widgets you can use to follow the news. For more new consumable apps visit Mashable’s post this week.
