News360 is a "next-generation personalization and news aggregation service" that supported on iPhone, iPad, Windows phone 7 's Playbook, Android, BlackBerry and the web. You will need to create an account to customize and therefore that to "know your cloud from sources, you can subscribe by connecting with Facebook or Twitter. Also you get for the custom web address of your profile, so you can share on the web.
Once signed up you will want to go to the settings below to customize your news and your interests. This is done by connecting and analyzing your accounts from Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, and Google Reader. In this way, News360 can get a better idea of what you like. It will take a few minutes to analyze each of your accounts, especially if you have many questions, notes and feeds to go.
When finished, will be grouped into categories. You can remove, add, drag and drop items between categories. If you have connected all of the above items should not be doing too much tweaking here.
From the home page you can get a glimpse of the main themes along with categories for your interests (on the left sidebar). By clicking your name in the upper-left corner will take you to your profile page, where you can get a glimpse of some stories from each of your interests.
Clicking a takes title your story for a more detailed view, and gives you various options. You will not be able to get the full view of history, you will need to click the "read original" to go to the actual source in a new tab. However, you can see more stories in the same category below, view Twitter (and other sources) about the story, save your story with your saved items (read later) and/or share (via Facebook, Twitter, email).
This is really all there is to News360. I've tried the iPad version and enjoy much more than the version on the web. Of course, the iPad is my preferred option for reading news, just because of how easy it is. Depending on what you can, I'm sure you'll agree that News360 is a very good tool that can be adapted easily according to your needs.
