Live Search News Launches

Sarah Perez — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:30:00 GMT

The Live Search team has just launched a new feature for finding news on the web: Live Search News. Here, you can find the latest news stories, categorized as "Top Stories," "World," "U.S.," "Local," "Business," "Politics," "Entertainment," "Sports," "Sci/Tech," and "Health."

The site has several really great features, one of which is the local news sidebar. Although you can access local news by clicking on the category page, having the sidebar there makes keeping tabs on your state's news even easier - especially when you just want a quick glance at the top stories.

Another cool feature is the "breaking news" bar at the top. You won't see this all the time, but when a big story is released, you'll see an orange bar at the top linking to the article.

When you're browsing the news, you can click "more on this story," to pull up a whole list of related stories about that topic while, in the sidebar, you are presented with options to refine by location or category or perform related searches.

Another unique feature to Live Search News are the "news videos" sections found midway down on most of the categories' main page. Here, you can access the days big stories in video format - and we're not talking videos from a user-gen site here - the videos come from Reuters TV, AP Video, Fox News, ABC News, USA Today, CNN, and other similar news organizations. What's even cooler is that you don't have to leave Live Search News to view them - just rolling over the video with your mouse will begin to play their stream.

The site also has a clean and well-designed look and feel and will certainly appeal to news junkies everywhere.

Solo Tech Journalism: from personal passion to writing for Macworld and The New York Times

Laura Foy — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 14:00:00 GMT

Self-proclaimed ‘Unsolicited Pundit’ Glenn Fleishmann came by to share his thoughts on being a one-man journalistic force. Glenn talks about his focus on the wireless industry and the larger goal of explaining complex technology easily and making a name for himself in the process. We pried into his vault of expertise to learn more about cell phones on airplanes, testing WiFi access points, and how what you study in school rarely influences what pays the bills ;)
