News360 joins the iOS news party with some interesting features

I've commented that news reading apps for iOS are surging, especially, it seems, as more big news brands put content behind paywalls.

As a pretty dedicated news junkie I'm delighting in all the creative apps that are scouring the web for worthwhile morsels of news, and serving it all up in a dedicated place. I've already praised Zite, which looks at half a million websites and delivers news that it determines you are interested in by keeping track of what you click on.

I've spent a couple days now using News360, from Russian developers whose specialty has been semantic analysis, fact extraction and text classification. Those are big words that describe using artificial intelligence to get you relevant material. News360 is far more focused on just news than some of the other apps, and looks at about a thousand mainstream websites and delivers stories in selected topics, while at the same time offering related stories from other trusted news sources.
