A New Way to Read News Online

As an avid Flipboard and tech blog reader, I often find that many blogs cover the same topic / issue (ex. Google vs Oracle regarding Sun). However, there's no easy way to follow these discussions, see how they developer over time, or even see how different blogs discuss the same issues.

I envision a new way of reading news online. A site or an app which when you click on 'Technology', for example, you see a beautiful, organized listing of topics and issues, not individual articles. When you click on an issue it expands to show summaries (maybe using Summly Api?) of how 10 various blogs cover the same issue - this way you get a nice spectrum of opinions on the same topic.

In addition, I would love to enable people to 'follow' news topics and issues. What if you want to find out updates for the Google vs Oracle court case? What if you want to get notified when a decision was reached, or even when a certain list of blogs re-mention it, etc. My vision is to help people see different viewpoints for the same issue, since every blog has a certain amount of bias.

While access to information is plentiful, it's unfortunately super easy to get a dose of TechCrunch daily, instead of other blogs as well. It's easy to be narrowminded and only hear 1 viewpoint and think that's the right one.

Does anybody else feel the same way or share the same vision? Or am I just crazy?
