LinksAlpha.com - Another News Aggregator Surfaces

LinksAlpha.com stands as yet another social news ranking site. It has the objective of delivering the most popular news on the web by aggregating sharing activity on popular social media sites including Twitter and Friendfeed. It currently delivers the top news in the past 24 hours, last 7 days, and last 30 days. I am sure you have all not just seen but actually used a news aggregator in the past, so that I don’t have to explain that it collates news from all over the web and how they are promoted and demoted as users vote on them.

The LinksAlpha team considers that with the exponential growth in the userbase of Twitter news rankings which derive from social sharing activity are the most relevant ones today. That is certainly correct, and an accurate take on the state of Twitter as of this date - a news stream that rivals pretty much anything else.

The site is a bit bare for my liking, but I am willing to give it time to see how it evolves. Still, there is so much competition currently available that I wonder how far it can actually get.

It is easy to use, fast and free.

Is there a valid reason for yet another news aggregator being released?
