Blogging. Web Ink Now. Digital and Social Media Marketing. Would You Pay a Monthly Fee for Ad-Free News? Ongo, the Cupertino-based startup backed by the parent companies of The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today, launched its ad-free, subscription-based news service to the public Tuesday morning. The service offers users a clean, app-like interface in which to read and discuss news published on the web. A single front page displays the most important daily news from a variety of sources, along with stories surfaced by Ongo's staff of human editors. Readers can explore further by publication, search and topics, a customized news "playlist" that can be arranged by title, section (such as technology or business) and keyword.
Unlike most aggregators, users can view full articles (in columned format, no less) without leaving the dashboard, offering a consistent, streamlined reading experience not unlike the reading experiences rendered by Flipboard and Pulse, two news reading apps for the iPad. Articles can be saved for later access at any time. Other How-To Articles, Tips, and Guides :: How-To Geek. WordPress SEO and Blog Marketing Tips. Blogging Bookshelf — Blogging Tips for Smart People.
