NewsCred Lets Users Judge Source Credibility
"Digg-like" news takes on a new twist today with the launch
of Newscred. The service, which has undergone months of
alpha testing, ranks sources based on user feedback. Users rank mainstream media sources, blogs,
reporters, and specific articles. The
site then aggregates the data with a super-secret algorithm to generate
public-facing results.
The jury is still out on the accuracy of Newscred's data, and there are some questions about its algorithm and methodology. However, bloggers are already applauding the "clean," customizable design. Those interested in Newscred may want to check out a similar service offered by Newstrust.
