Ask has launched a news page, being called “Big News” they will aggregate and display top news stories from around the web. The stories will be pulled from a variety of sites both big and small, ranging everywhere from the small blog up to The New York Times. They even have some integration with Digg.com, on the bottom of the page you are shown the “Top 5 Diggs in the News” and also five stories that have yet to be Dugg, offering you the option to “Be The First.”
According to Ask the listed news stories will be “dynamically generated” and are based on a variety of factors to include freshness, source authority, social media references, article content, and multimedia availability. The sections and categories will also be able to be tracked and followed via RSS with lots of details shown during mouse overs while on the Big News page. While the social news section has many other competitors, Ask has a nice offering with what appears to be both a clean and easy-to-use interface.
