Great news website
09.08.05 (3:56 am) [edit]
An excellent news website here in Germany has just come to my attention, and I thought I'd share. I'll add the link to my Useful Links section in the left-hand sidebar as well.
For anyone who, like me, likes to gather their news and opinion from various sources around the world, rather than just relying on a single news outlet, Netzzeitung.de [German for web newspaper] is an excellent resource. It works a bit like a news feeder or aggregator, though only for 29 selected newspapers and magazines, and it's incredibly simple to use.
When you first log on to Netzzeitung.de, you'll be presented with a summary of the three most recent top news stories from a selection of about 25 different newspapers from around the world. Because it's a German website, the focus is fairly heavily on German news outlets, such as Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel, Focus, etc. However, there are also several English and French language newspapers included in the selection, plus one Dutch newspaper (no use to me!) and and Israeli newspaper too. Each article title is a live link which will take you straight to the online article, which opens in a new window so you don't lose your place at Netzeitung.de.
Better still, you can very simply customise the site to show only the news sources you're interested in reading. To do this, simply click on the little x symbol beside the name of the paper or magazine you don't want to see articles from. That source then disappears from your active articles list, and reappears as a named link in the righ-hand sidebar. If you change your mind and want that source back, just click on the link in the sidebar and, hey presto, it's back in your active list. The site remembers by means of cookies which sources you want to see and which you don't. But if you work on different computers, it's also very easy to save your preferences on their server with a username and password, so that you can log in from wherever you are to see only your chosen news sources. To do this, simply click on the link called Einstellungen zentral speichern/laden in the right-hand sidebar.
Unfortunately, the instructions are in German, meaning that this resource is probably best suited to people who can read German. However, even if you can't read German, but can use my instructions to find your way around it, there are enough English and French and other newspapers on there for it to be worth your while. Check it out. Of course, if your preferred source of news is Fox, and that satisfies your thirst for knowledge of what's going on in the world, then Netzzeitung.de is probably not the place for you. But then, if you're a Fox News type, you probably gave up on this incorrigible liberal long ago and won't even be reading this at all ...

hahahaha. Hmmm. So... how do you feel about Fox?
Just checking. That wasn't quite clear...

Oh, so you spotted it then? ;-) The Fox people should just be glad I refrained from calling them "Faux News" which is my normal epithet for that bastion of high quality, unbiased reporting.
