Have heard about cool startups in many areas.. but seems like there's nothing much happened (at least to me) on the news front except news aggregators... people are still reading long news articles the plain old way..<p>Any idea about happenings there?
I'm s-l-o-w-l-y creating a web and mobile app for finding "agents" to supply news or information based on geo-location.<p>In terms of readers I would love to see a map based news reader that would give me geo-specific stories at an international/national/regional/local/hyperlocal level depending on how far I zoom in.
Flipboard obv. Pulse also (both iPad apps).<p>FT Alphaville is an interesting startup-style product from the FT - their Markets Live daily chat is quite cool.<p>But yeah, I think you're right - it seems quiet. What you thinking?
