Final verdict
Each of these news aggregation apps has pluses and minuses; individual needs
play a role in determining which is best for you. Ask yourself:
Are you looking for a straightforward, visual RSS reader experience? If so,
Google Currents and Pulse are the best options, with Pulse having more
flexibility than Currents.
What level of learning curve can you stand? If you’re ready to spend a bit
of time on learning how to use the app, Zite and Flipboard are good options.
How important are social features? Along with being able to share a story
via Twitter or Facebook, do you want to be able to comment on a story from
within the app? If so, Flipboard is a good choice.
Is your interest mostly in keeping up with news followed by those you
connect with on social sites? Then Flipboard or Pulse make the most sense.
Will recommendations of stories that you might not find on your own be
useful? The app for that is Zite.
Liberty High School on 03 May 10"The "Rare Book Room" site has been constructed as an educational site intended to allow the visitor to examine and read some of the great books of the world. Over the last decade, a company called "Octavo" digitally photographed some of the world 's great books from some of the greatest libraries. These books were photographed at very high resolution (in some cases at over 200 megabytes per page). This site contains all of the books ( 558) that have been digitized to date. These range over a wide variety of topics and rarity. The books are presented so that the viewer can examine all the pages in medium to medium-high resolution. Some highlights of the site are: Shakespeare Benjamin Franklin Redouté Galileo Copernicus Louis Renard Some of the books are available for sale on CDs from This site will be updated regularly. If you have questions, comments, problems or are interested in high resolution images, then please contact: curator@rarebookroom.org "
