Released a new look to the service!

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

I have just released an upgraded version of the site. Like the new look of it?

We hope that it becomes your one-stop solution for reading news obtained from trusted sources.

There is also now a recommendation system that gathers news based on individual user’s news consumption habit!

We believe that a community of citizen journalists can be built by providing a platform that allows for easy mediation of quality news analysis. In this version, a system to rate reviewers has been built into the application to allow users to judge the quality of reviews.

Therefore, we are trying to bring here a community of aspiring journalists who are eager to contribute reviews and opinions on current news content gathered on the site. We seek volunteers to write frequent news reviews on our site and will explore further opportunities in terms of offering monetary incentives for active reviewers. We encourage any potential news reviewers to invite friends to join the platform and vote favorably for their quality reviews.

Search, Navigation Improvements

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

I have rolled out 2 feature improvements to make Newscri.be even better!

The Live search results for every topic in the Popular section can now be viewed in pages!Secondly, when visit the Latest page, it will remember your last visited section so that it becomes your default page. You don’t have to go click on your last visited section link anymore!

Also, in case it is not obvious, clicking on the headline topics in “Popular” will bring you to relevant “Latest” sections.

Newscri.be released!

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

I have now released an initial version of Newscri.be for friends and family.

Newscri.be makes finding news that matter easier and more enjoyable. It works very well when there are lots of people keeping track of interesting and hot news. As more of you keep articles that are worth reading, other users can quickly identify good articles that are worth at least a skim through. You can even drop a simple comment to open a discussion about any articles you like. So, by joining in, you are helping the community of readers here!

Hope any of you who drops by here find this service useful in keeping yourself better informed of happenings around the world.

If you like it, don’t forget to bookmark it! :)
