A Comparison of Daypop and Google News
A new posting on Daypop founder Dan Chan’s blog is are a few interesting comments that Simon Waldman posted about how Daypop and Google handle listing (not searching) news stories. The comments come from a post on the Words of Waldman weblog a couple of months ago. “But the contrast between it [Google News] and Daypop couldn’t be sharper. Google News homoegenises news. It removes the local and the quirky (the very thing that many media outlets are most proud of) and promotes the uniform and standard. Daypop tends to do exactly the opposite: it elevates the quirky (today’s top story: Japanese Scientists develop invisible cloak), the contrary, the geeky, sexy and shocking.”
