RSS news reading has, to date, revolved around the metaphor of email.  Opening Feeds like mail folders, item lists, marking items as read and flagging items have been, and will continue to be, necessary and important mechanisms for power users who want to ‘consume’ large amounts of information.

myBroadSheet is a different solution for a different type of person. It can broadly be described as an RSS news reader for the mainstream. A mainstream who don't necessarily want to consume news, but rather experience it in a news reading metaphor their used to.

myBroadSheet is designed for people on the train with their TabletPC (not exclusively – but you get the idea!). It uses a set of visualizations - a newspaper layout for example - that provide an elegant and intuitive news reading and inline media experience so that you can enjoy your news like you would a well designed magazine filled with articles you care about.

Think NewsMap, but instead of color coded boxes, a number of intuitive news reading visualizations. Instead of mainstream Google news, imagine a user's own RSS feeds (proccessed by Touchstone). Imagine a layout that determines the size and placement of news based on the buzz on the blog-o-sphere. Imagine inline images from Flickr and links to related blog posts from across the web.

Simple and stylish. Just like a magazine or newspaper.

For the general user, simply browse the default setup or customize the news by setting up your own sections made from one or more RSS feeds (no signup required!). If you want your BroadSheet accessible from any internet connected device, simply signup for a free account.

For designers, myBroadSheet is an opportunity to create new ways to experience news.

For developers and content publishers, myBroadSheet is an opportunity to add a new way for people to experience your product or content. Integrate a myBroadSheet visualization into your application.
