What makes it stand out from the crowd?
News Gyre is the first news aggregate site to use social media trends data to sort articles. It also boasts several unique methods of displaying the news, including on a map, across an image wall, and even vintage newspaper-esque columns.
What’s next?
In the near future mobile functionality will be added, along with automated breaking-news alerts. Of course, fresh news sources and new interface options will also become available as time goes on.
