More about Newgie

I have been using that site Newgie.com for a few days now, it's that new news site that I talked about it a few days ago where the stories are rated based on how many people are reading them. Anyway, I have to say that I am highly pleased with it so far.

I had been using CNN as my news source, but it seemed to be determined to deluge me with information on people that have died and stuff that just - well, stuff that puts me in a highly depressed mood and makes it VERY difficult to fend off the depression that is a big part of being a family caregiver.

When I found Newgie one of the first things that I noticed (and pointed out in the post I made on it) was that it looked like I could avoid stories I did not want and see the ones I wanted, see ones that others with my reading interests liked most. Well, I am very happy with the results I have so far been getting and intend to set Newgie as a "Must Visit" site for fist thing in the morning - something I have never done with any other news site. It's refreshing to see what I want and still see what everyone else is reading.

I began playing more today, looking at the settings and such. I found a community I was apparently auto subscribed to when I joined called "WOW! News that makes your jaw drop", interesting set of stories there. I'll definitely have to check it out at least a few times a week. I also found a RSS feeds listing so I can subscribe to RSS feeds - looks like I have to pick from their current selections rather than add my own, but they seem to have an option for suggesting feeds you'd like.

Still, no more than I have seen, I really like the site. Just in time too, since I was starting to move to FOX News since my dad watches that, and I like Newgie.com better so far.
