PimpMyNews.com Tops 500000 Audio News Stories Enhances Twitter Features

Web 2.0 startup PimpMyNews.com today announced that users of its service can now access audio versions of more than half a million stories from the web's top news and blog sites at http://www.PimpMyNews.com. The company also announced an enhancement to its interface to Twitter, which enables users to send "talking stories" to the popular social messaging site with a single mouse-click.

PimpMyNews is a free new media service that allows users to get current anywhere by listening to the text news and blogs they care about on computers, iPhones, iPods, Zunes and other MP3 players and mobile devices. The service lets consumers create "personalized talking newspapers" by selecting their favorite text news sources from 59 categories, including Technology, Entertainment, Politics, Sports, Games and more.

The company's proprietary web 2.0 news engine continuously scans the Internet for breaking text news stories matching user preferences and converts them to audio in real time - saving time previously spent searching websites for news and reading text stories, and allowing users to catch up on their blogs by listening to them while doing other things, like driving, working out and more.

Users can also create playlists and podcasts and rate and share "talking stories" with friends, or send them to Facebook, Digg, Twitter, MySpace, StumbleUpon, Delicious and other social sites.

"We're excited to be able to offer such a wide selection of quality content in a portable audio format. With PimpMyNews, you no longer have to be tied to your computer searching, sifting and reading - the news you care about comes to you, and you can listen to it and share it wherever you happen to be," said PimpMyNews Co-Founder and CEO John Atkinson.

The company reports that people from 149 countries have used the service on Macs, PCs, iPhones, iPods, Zunes and other MP3 players and mobile devices, since its December launch.

Anyone with Internet access can sign up for the free service at http://www.PimpMyNews.com/Signup.aspx.
