Some people have to be up-to-date, on the minute, with every event that is going on in the world. They have their favorite news sources that they watch and surf online to find out what is going on. Maybe they like the feel of an old-fashioned newspaper crinkling in their hands as they flip the pages and scan the headlines to find articles that look interesting. Maybe they sit on the couch with the remote, flipping from CNN to C-SPAN to ABC to Fox to see what every news organization has to say about events in the world. Or they despise mainstream media and listen to talk radio, getting a daily dose of Rush or Hannity or whoever their favorite host may be.

Many people keep up with news through the internet, going on websites of major news organizations or news aggregators that collect stories from a variety of sources. Some avidly read blogs to get the viewpoints of their favorite commentators. They might subscribe to getting breaking headlines sent to email or even a cell phone so they don’t have to part with news access even when they are on the go.

Among those who avidly keep up with news, most people prefer to hear about events from a wide variety of sources. They like to hear different perspectives on the same events to get the most accurate picture possible. They would appreciate having a source that compiles access to all of this information in one place.

Sure, a website can link to a large selection of news articles from many sources. And many people use their favorite website to link to a variety of news. But why not put a portal to a variety of news sources on a portable source like a flash drive? This would be useful for people who often surf the web at a location like a public library and can’t store favorite sites on those computers. They could have all their links in one handy portable format they can plug into any computer.

The drive could contain a basic list of popular news sites sorted by categories like mainstream media, bloggers, talk show hosts, etc. Then people could choose the sites they want to add into categories and even add their own categories. At CFgear, we offer various layouts that can be customized to fit the needs of a particular client. There could even be a folder on the hard drive to save copies of news articles that people would like to file away for future use.

Perhaps news organizations would be interested in paying to advertise on the flash drive. That would provide income from advertisers and the people who buy the flash drives.

CFgear offers customization all the way from conceiving an idea to designing a layout to copying it onto multiple flash drives. Browse through our website today or call us at 800.371.1984 for more information.
