Trying to get your scientific news fix on a daily basis? You could keep your fingers crossed for brief updates from the bigger news sites—and sift through political happenings, entertainment gossip, and local stories at the same time—or you could add the new Discovery News site to your blogroll and stay in the know about all the latest and greatest science, technology, and animal news.
Why We Love Discovery News
By taking a scientific look at all the day's big news, the site puts a smart spin on the stories you need to know. From a video about the history of vampires and a look at what makes Oprah so influential to a theory on a new drug that could reverse the symptoms of Down Syndrome and a piece about the recovery of Galileo's fingers, the eight different categories—Earth, Science, Tech, Animals, Dinosaurs, Archaeology, History, and Human—give readers plenty of opportunities to go beyond the basic facts of a story. Eco-minded readers can focus especially on the Earth section, where stories about whaling, carbon dioxide, shark conservation, cigarette butts, garbage patches, algae power, natural super glue, and pollution make for practical, informative, and accessible green reading.
How to Use Discovery News
The key to any news network is being able to get to it anytime, anywhere, to stay informed on whatever topics hold your interest—and with Discovery News, it's simple to stay in the loop. Check the site for daily updates across the content categories; sign up for the Twitter feeds of news experts; check Facebook pages that reference the most popular topics; and put the site in your RSS feed to see when the stories you're following get updated. The site also offers widgets for Yahoo! and Google that let you pull Discovery News content onto your homepage, and a new iPhone application keeps all of the who, how, and why right at your fingertips.
