You know when you stumble across an idea online and wonder: Why hasn't this been done before? That's News Fifty. News Fifty is a state-by-state news aggregator. For all you news junkies, I think it's going to be a must-stop every morning. I just wanted to let you guys know about it.

Here's the blurb:

NewsFifty.com has one national homepage that features important headlines and breaking news from across the country. Through an interactive map, visitors can quickly and easily access 50 separate state pages dedicated to all the headlines from each state. In addition, the most popular newspapers, magazines, blogs, television and radio stations are listed on each state's page.

"We have developed a site that caters to the online news consumer. To the
average person that gets their news online, we want www.NewsFifty.com to
be a part of their daily routine," says Vidrine.

No, I'm not getting paid. No, I have no vested interest. I just like good ideas and when they come along, I think "hey, why didn't I think of that?" This is one of those ideas. It will take a lot of work out of searching for news.

P.S. Oh! They don't just have headlines. They have blog rolls from every state and nationwide, too.
