New From Reuters Labs: TwitterThis and News Screener
TwitterThis gives people a way to share the Reuters story they’re reading with their friends on Twitter. Various story pages on the experimental Reuters Labs website, such as this one, have a TwitterThis link on the toolbar just below the headline. Clicking this link initiates the process of posting the story to Twitter. Because Twitter posts are limited to small bits of text, each character is at a premium. In order to shrink story URLs into a more Twitter-friendly size, TwitterThis employs another Reuters Labs technology, called DinkyLink.
The Reuters News Screener lets you treat the news as a sortable data set, helping you pinpoint stories of interest quickly. With a quick glance, the News Screener shows you over 100 of the latest headlines in a number of different categories. You can also type text into a filter to focus only on certain stories.
