Topicks
Topicks is a service that presents you with the most relevant daily news topics, and their supporting viewpoints. Topicks gives you the whole story by providing the viewpoints that normally go unseen. This is a tool for people who want to understand the many sides to a story, because by understanding others’ viewpoints, we can better form our own.
Topicks enables users to construct the overall picture of a topic by showing the different sides to a story. The top ten topics presented on the front page are pulled from existing trending news. For quick navigation, a simple swipe to the left allows users to see new viewpoints. Users can save particular topics to stay updated on their preferred news.
