Everything you need from news at Google
Google News links to news web sites across the Web. It’s easier to get news. It’s available every day. It’s really easy to access too with a very clear format that has local news and top news categories.
Apple app store has newspaper apps
Newspapers are an app at the Apple App Store that you pay $1.99 for in order to get links to all online newspaper web sites. You can use your iPod, iPad, iPhone or Safari to read articles. You are able to download stories and read them later. Instapaper is an example of an app to do this with.
RSS Reeder available
RSS feeds are a great way to keep up with the news that’s essential to you, and Reeder does it the clean and simple way. The iOS app is newspaper style and makes it easier to read with reformatting. Download the app for pretty cheap. You only have to pay $2.99.
There's Zite too
The free iPad app Zite acts as a kind of "personalized magazine," states Business Insider. News will be recommended to you. The Google Reader and Twitter accounts could be accessed to do this. However, simply picking articles to read from within the app can also drive your customization experience.
Don't pay for Associated Press and CNN apps
Mobile apps by the Associated Press and CNN are great iOS and Android possibilities for world, national and local news. Users of the AP app can even choose their favored local and national broadcasters and follow their stories in print and video. there are great videos accessible in the CNN app. It also has an iReport feature that lets users submit photos of news events.
How to get free access to NYT and The Daily
Users on Twitter have had access to NYT Twitter feeds. They can create a list for this. Clicking the links via Twitter or blog postings do not count toward the 20 articles per month limit the Times has imposed, so this amounts to free access. The Daily: Indexed, is a blog that the exact same thing happens with The Daily.
MediaMemo's Peter Kafka explained that there can be a limit of five referrals per day that are free from Google for NYT. This very same limit may not apply to Bing or other search engines.
The Times just blocked Google. Why is that? Because users could simply Google an article headline and get into the article without going through the front door, so to speak.
