Website of the Week- January week 1

Okay, I think I missed a week or two with this so I will give you two sites this week. If you are like me and don't get a newspaper at home but like to read the news, here are a couple of websites that have excellent news coverage and they pull it from muliple sources. One of them, Newsbot, from MSNBC, has stories from thousands of sources along with the menu for MSNBC news running down the side. They even track the stories you viewed during your current session. I currently have this as my IE start page. You can check it out for yourself here:

Google also has a similiar service, expept for the msnbc content of course. I use it as my startpage on Firefox. Not sure if I really have a preference. The nice thing about both is that you will find several different stories on the same subject, making it easy to read all sides of a story if you desire. You also find stories from some places off the beaten path. For example, I found a law enforcement story from a site called officer.com that is just basically cop stuff. Not something you would read everyday, but gives a different perspective.

You can find the google news page here: and the law enforcement site here:

I guess that is actually 3 sites now isn't it? And its all free, ain't America great?
