Spectra



MSNBC just launched Spectra, an new way to view your news, color coded and swirly. Pick your topics, and the reader will populate the vortex of news with headlines for you to dig in. I dig it, er...in. I was skeptical at first, but then, I am a visual guy, this is great. Check it out, Spectra.

Of coarse it would be soooo much better if as you click on a swirling headline, you got to read that story. Maybe they'll figure that one out next. Still pretty though.

It would be so much better if it remembered your news feeds, gave you artcles based on what you clicked and didn't need another page to load. All in all–YAWN. Pretty graphic may get my attention, but substance will keep me coming back.
