Have You Heard? News Sites

Hi All,

News on the internet is free, readily available and covers every possible topic you can imagine.  There is a lot more news than just the Yahoo newsfeed or the Google newsfeed.  And while they are good for broad overviews of information there are other sites on the web that cater to other 'types' of news. 

Traditional news organizations were early to the 'news' game on the web.  Some of the more prominent news organizations that used the web to expand their presence include CNN, CBS News, ABCNews, Reuters, BBC News Online, MSNBC, FOXnews, USAToday, Time, Associated Press, the New York Times, and News.com.au.

Note that some of these news organizations cover different regions of the world - BBC, News.com.au in particular.  Also, some of the organizations are international in scope - Reuters, Associated Press and BBC in particular. 

Enjoy the links and the news!

Regards,
Stu

YouTube - videos





Hi All,

Pretty much most everyone knows that YouTube has millions of videos of cats playing, drag races, fun videos and much, much, much, much more. Right?

But did you know that there are lots of educational videos on the site?  Yep - just do a bunch of searches for Windows 10 or iPad or baseball highlights or making ice cream or United States History or introduction to geometry or Android smartphones and you'll see videos galore on the topic that you searched for.

But there's more...did you know that the Associated Press and British Movietone just added more than a million minutes of the last centuries' most iconic events on to the site?  Nope, didn't think so.  Click here for the link that discusses the additions to YouTube.

Enjoy the videos and the links!
