Axel Hansen Created Newsle for Users to Follow People in the News
Everyone knows that annoying feeling that comes with hearing about news weeks after they should have been aware of it. Sometimes it’s about a friend, a boss, a business associate, or a celebrity they follow intensely, but it’s almost always something they wish they’d known sooner. Cool person in technology Axel Hansen created Newsle specifically for people in this situation. Newsle automatically finds news from hundreds of sources and matches it against each of its users’ specific follow lists to present them with news that only has to do with the people they care about the most. Hansen’s program starts out with users connecting to their Facebook or LinkedIn account and importing their friends or business colleagues onto their follow list first. This process automatically sets up users so they see news about anyone in their social or business networks the minute it appears on the web. Newsle scours the Internet and finds out when a news outlet reports something about anyone in a user’s network. Anyone who uses Newsle but can’t seem to connect it to any social networks properly can get assistance through phone tech support. Read more »
