Talking Web 2.0 News App Gets Listeners From 119 Countries And New Features
Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- Web 2.0 startup PimpMyNews.com today announced new product features for its user base, which has grown to include users from 119 countries since its mid December launch.
PimpMyNews is a new media application that allows consumers to stay current on breaking stories from their favorite text news and blog sources by listening to them wherever they happen to be. The free service continuously scans the web's top 1,000 news and blog sites for breaking text stories based on user preferences, and instantly converts them to near-human sounding audio. Users can listen online on computers, or on the go on iPhones, iPods, Zunes and other MP3 players and mobile devices. The service also allows users to create playlists and personalized news podcasts, rate and share "talking stories" with friends, and post them to Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Mixx, and other social sites.
The company has rolled out a series of enhancements based on user feedback since the December launch of its full site at www.PimpMyNews.com. In mid January at Macworld, the company released its iPhone-optimized mobile application at www.PimpMyNews.com/m, which received Apple's coveted "Staff Pick" designation.
Today, the company announced new mobile personalization features, integration with MySpace and enhancements to its home screens. The new release allows mobile users to access their PimpMyNews favorites playlists from any location, delivering the same personalized news experience of the full site on mobile devices. Users can also now post audio versions of their favorite stories to MySpace to share them with their MySpace network. Additionally, the application home screens have been enhanced to load audio versions of the latest stories from the web's top thirty blogs.
"Today, with our busy lifestyles and the vast amount of news released each day, it's difficult to stay current through traditional methods. PimpMyNews saves time by finding stories that you care about, and lets you get current by listening while you do other things like drive, work out, ride the train and more. It's like TiVo for news and blogs," said PimpMyNews Co-Founder & CEO John Atkinson.
Anyone with Internet access can sign up for the free service at www.PimpMyNews.com/Signup.aspx
