Associated Press News For The iPhone

Posted Tue, 05/06/2008 - 11:10 by awakenedvoice

The Associated Press has launched a new mobile news website optimized for the iPhone. I've been trying it out this morning and I'm finding the experience to be a good one.

The site integrates photo galleries and videos optimized for viewing in the iPhone. Users can set local news options and send stories via email or text message.

I think one way that traditional news organizations can stay relevant and regain market share is to support hot new portable devices like the iPhone. This launch by AP shows that they've put a lot of time and effort into making their iPhone mobile news site a top notch destination.

Social News With DayLife API

Posted Tue, 04/01/2008 - 02:26 by awakenedvoice

I met Vineet Gupta at the recent DrupalCampNYC event. Vineet is a technology evangelist and engineer for Daylife. Daylife is a social news site that is providing application developers with tools that allow them to include dynamic news in websites by leveraging the Daylife technology platform.

I've been keeping an eye on Daylife since their launch because they provide a very unique and visually appealing way to keep track of a wide range of topics in the news. More recently they've launched news widgets and have a robust API for developers to hook into. Vineet recently put a call out to the NYC Drupal Group to encourage module developers to leverage their platform.

Vineet and I stepped aside for a few minutes so he could introduce Daylife and the idea behind their platform to the community.
