During this year’s Macworld, a startup called PimpMyNews.com launched a “talking” news application for the iPhone and the iPod Touch users.
The Web-based application, accessible through the Safari browser, searches the Internet for the latest news and converts text-based stories to audio, enabling users to get their daily dose of information while on-the-go.
At the moment, PimpMyNews features more than 200,000 talking stories across 59 categories, and more than 4,000 stories are added each day. Users can even create their own “personalized talking newspaper” by selecting categories and news sources. In addition, audio files can be shared with others and posted on popular social networking sites, including Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and Reddit.

With the new web app for PimpMyNews, you can access your account, and the entire site, easily and quickly from your iPhone. If you haven’t tried the new iPhone apps for it, you should!
Sweet site! You don’t even need an i-phone or i-pod touch to use Pimp my News. I have just an old i-pod classic and Pimp my News loads my personized stories onto my i-pod every morning before I go running. Highly recommended!!
