All your favorite news

March 12, 2002 8:59 AM

All your favorite news can be found at Stereotypography -- or, at least, the news from 18 distinct weblogs. Condensed into three frames, you can read the news from three of those sites and switch between them with drop-down boxes. Resize the font or refresh the news feeds at will. (found via alt.sense.)

Pretty cool, I usually go to these sites for the links anyway, so this site is really convienient.

This site saves a lot of time!

It also doesn't have Anime cheerleaders in the background, so it makes checking the Halfproject.com news at work a little easier. :-)

Wow, that is pretty neat. Would be even neater if I recognized any of the sites they feed from.

Cool idea...now if it only listed some sites *I* am interested in.

hmm... this is a very old idea... with an ok implementation (it would be better if they didn't totally rip the design from DiK - those shapes - ugh)... along similar lines type01 built the Link R.I.Pper a while back which extracts link site urls into a nifty alert application.

I say its an old idea because as most of the sites featured here have their news boxes in iframes I know many folks who have done something like this for themselves (as opposed to trying to pull traffic away from the originating sites). I know I have had my own page for quite some time.

NEAT, but they don't have the sites I want. My three choices would be METAFILTER, WIRED NEWS, and SLASHDOT

Damnit.

A news aggregator for design sites, eh? Erm, I mostly visit design sites to look at pretty things, not to read content. Defeats the purpose.
