Dr. Steve Baba has developed a new minimalist news portal, Shrewd.com - a list of the 30 best news websites - to allow news readers to fast flip or fast click through to all the major news websites.
(1888PressRelease) September 19, 2009 - “Fast access to diverse news sources from the New York Times to Fox News helps citizens stay informed and depolarize the debate,” states Dr. Steve Baba, who developed Shrewd.com as an easy-to-use, minimalist news portal.
Unlike other news portals, Shrewd.com does not show any breaking news or flashy advertisements that interrupt users every time they turn on their computers. Shrewd.com contains only fixed links to other news sites, so readers can read news only when they want to.
This minimalist design was a factor in Google’s early success, since other search engines distracted people with cluttered search pages, while Google had only a few words on its homepage.
Like Google’s search page, but unlike Google’s cluttered news page, Shrewd.com is a very-small, fast-loading page that does not slow or distract with unwanted extras.
Shrewd.com has a very minimalist design, containing only 73 words. Sometimes less is more.
Visit www.Shrewd.com to try out the news portal for yourself and for more information.
