Cool New Tool: Inform.com

If you like Google News, check this out: inform.com. This is just like Google News except it's built on a special little applet as opposed to just being HTML. What the extra coding allows is a more customized experience for the consumer, and it also loads more quickly from page to page, once you download the initial applet. It works in both IE and Firefox, which is a good thing. It mixes Google News with an RSS reader. The bottom line is it lets you cruise the news a little bit faster than before. If you take the time to register and set your news preferences, you can do even more even faster.
