 | | I asked my mother to try all of the News 2.0 apps on Paul’s list (Associated Content, Backfence, Bayosphere, Digg,Findory, Gather.com, Google News, Inform.com, Memeorandum, MSN Newsbot, Newsvine, Pegasus News, Reddit, TailRank, Topix.net, Tinfinger) and pick the one that she personally would want to use on a regular basis. |
 | | My Mother, for example, is not a technophobe, but might be very interested in an alternative that doesn’t push the envelope quite as much as News 2.0 is trying to right now. |
