I have been solo developing NEWS and RUMORS for the last year with the goal of improving and simplifying content discovery and providing a way for lesser known bloggers and content publishers to reach a much larger audience.
There is so much great content on the internet that gets lost or never found because the search engines, news readers and news aggregators all feature and focus on the same high traffic sources, many of which write articles based on content from the same professional newswires and press releases.
I want to give readers a lot more control over the content they consume and the format of how it is presented.
To do this I developed a high performance search engine using a very clean and highly customizable low-bandwidth user interface for searching and displaying content acquired through an extensive modular-designed indexing system.
There will be a lot more that NEWS and RUMORS will offer as I continue its development, but it is a fully functional and beneficial service right now that I hope many people will enjoy!
## OVERVIEW
NEWS and RUMORS provides fast and simple access to a large amount of diverse content from a wide variety of sources while focusing on user privacy.
I created NEWS and RUMORS because I wanted a news and content search engine that does not show me advertisements as search results, does not track everything I do, does not only show content from high traffic sites, and lets me decide what content I want and do not want to see and how I want to see it.
The "Popular" search results (default home page) currently contains a variety of hand-picked sources because there is not enough traffic yet to generate an accurate list, but that will change once more people start using the site.
