News Fifty: A Drudge For Every State?

September 1, 2009 / 9:19 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

You know when you stumble across an idea online and wonder: Why hasn’t this been done before? That’s News Fifty. News Fifty is a state-by-state news aggregator. For all you news junkies, I think it’s going to be a must-stop every morning. I just wanted to let you guys know about it.

Here’s the blurb:

NewsFifty.com has one national homepage that features important headlines
and breaking news from across the country. Through an interactive map,
visitors can quickly and easily access 50 separate state pages dedicated
to all the headlines from each state. In addition, the most popular
newspapers, magazines, blogs, television and radio stations are listed on
each state’s page.

“We have developed a site that caters to the online news consumer. To the
average person that gets their news online, we want www.NewsFifty.com to
be a part of their daily routine,” says Vidrine.

No, I’m not getting paid. No, I have no vested interest. I just like good ideas and when they come along, I think “hey, why didn’t I think of that?” This is one of those ideas. It will take a lot of work out of searching for news.

P.S. Oh! They don’t just have headlines. They have blog rolls from every state and nationwide, too.

    Thank You Thank You Thank You! I can finally ditch the AJC – former paper of record of ATL that has turned into a leftie hip-hop rag.

    Ummmm….

    Note that you can deselect the sections, as well as select other nations (though you’ll need to be able to read the language for that nation if you do)

    Color ties to section, and darkness of color indicates age…

But Before You Say That…

  • Comments that are inappropriate, rude, completely stupid, or obviously meant to bait others into a flame war may be deleted.  If that happens to you and you want to throw a tantrum about “free speech,” do it on your own blog.  Basically, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face without the shield of anonymity, don't say it here.
  • If you are a new commenter or are using a new e-mail address, your comment will go to moderation.  Even regular commenters get stuck in moderation sometimes.  Please be patient; your comment will be published as soon as I can get to it.
  • Comments that will never get published are those that are posted under the name “anonymous” and those using an obviously fake e-mail address.
