Today I wanted to bring a unusual news web site to attention. It is called ShortNews. I have been a member of ShortNews for about 6 years. ShortNews is a different kind of news web site.
The web site lets members find news articles from different sources on the Internet, then re-write the news article in their own words instead of copying it directly from the original web site.
You may ask what is unusual about that. Well you will find a very wide and diverse listing of almost any kind of news story on this planet ranging from present day news articles to technology features to really odd, strange and sometimes offensive news articles to political to entertainment, sports and just about anything else you can think of all on one web site.
Members can rate all news articles written or I should say re-written by members and critique the articles.
As kind of a competition amongst members, there is a ranking system as well and is done by the amount of articles a member submits. I personaly am ranked in the top 25 all time high points leaders on the web site.
Re-writing news articles may not be of interest to you, but check out the ShortNews RSS news feed to the left on this site for current submissions or visit the web site to get a full view of ShortNews stories all on one web site. http://www.shortnews.com/
