Wopular.com (blog) is a news aggregation site. Use this site to get a summary view of the top headlines and search results from the top newspapers and online news sites. Think of this as an online newspaper rack, except with an editor who supplements those headlines with featured stories.
"... presents breaking news in a slick user-friendly interface that makes The Drudge Report look positively 20th century." — Anne Thompson, Deputy Editor of Variety.com
Newspaper Rack
By listing five stories from the top circulated newspapers in the country, I'm hoping that this will give a more comprehensive view of what's happening across the United States. Even if most papers cover the same story, it's good to have multiple perspectives. Think of this as Drudge Report meets Rotten Tomatoes. It's the equivalent of looking at the front page of the top newspapers and online news sites across the country.
Most of the sources are newspapers, but I also link to social news sites like Digg, Google News, and Yahoo! Buzz to show popular news items submitted by their respective users. The Onion and Fark, two news sites focusing on humor are included as well. Sources are sorted by popularity (online news sites) and circulation (newspapers).
"VERY nice implementation, clean, simple, valuable." — Nick Demartino, Senior Vice President of American Film Institute
Search
The search box grabs results from the top news sites, aggregation sites, blogging sites, video sites, photo sites, and search engines. In other words, it searches sites like CNN, NY Times, Digg, Google News, Twitter, Technorati, YouTube, Hulu, Google Images, Flickr, Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia, and many more, all at once. Now, you can instantly get the latest news and buzz on any news topic. For example, here's a search for Barack Obama.
"This online newspaper rack sports a pleasantly slick interface for aggregation of hand-picked top stories from a variety of popular sources including CNN, BBC News, the New York Times, and Reuters, as well as social sites like Digg and Google News, humor rags including The Onion, and those sparkle-eyed dreamers over at Forbes.
