Today at its CES keynote, Yahoo announced a new product, News Digest, to help people stay “quickly informed” on the day’s big topics by sending out twice daily updates, or digests.
Yahoo News Digest provides a definitive summary of all the important, need-to-know news. Digests are delivered twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening. All the top stories are summarized and presented with the key information that you need to stay on top of what’s happening.
Yahoo News Digest aims to bring back the satisfaction that comes with finishing something. The app presents stories in brief, digestible chunks of text, punctuated by photos, maps, tweets, and other visual elements. Swiping to the right will take you through the day’s stories, and when you’re done a whimsical animation transforms the mostly black-and-white background into a lime-green shade. The green means go: you’re done. (News junkies can read more stories if they like, by scrolling past the green “Done” box at the bottom of the digest feed to find additional stories curated by Yahoo’s algorithms. But most people probably won’t go beyond the digest — and D’Aloisio is counting on it.
