Newgie - only the news

We’re flooded with news everyday. But rarely do I see news that’s really a news. Most of them are really boring. Until I stumbled upon Newgie.com

The concept is rather similar with digg.com, where good news will become more visible (example: shown on the first page). However, it’s more automatic - you don’t need to vote. Just by viewing the news, it’s already a vote for it. It’s a good point in usability.

I’m just hoping that newgie.com has some sort of anti-spam mechanism. It seems easier to “spam” (eg: promote own news). But I might be wrong, there may very well be already a strong anti-spam mechanism behind the curtain, working hard automagically to give us just the news.

Also I’m impressed by the variety of the contents. I even managed to found a Cooking news section ! Yay ! Nice one Newgie :)

Newgie.com

All in all… very impressive. Yet another excellent example of a Web 2.0 website — intuitive, useful, usable, and just works. Here’s hoping that it’ll manage to attract more attention to itself and become more popular — check the banner below :
