A new iPhone application that you can grab for free, Snackr does for news what Pandora does for music. This new startup offers you personalized 5-minute snacks of the latest headlines, along with full audio streams in lots of different categories. These include all the channels a reader of KillerStartups.com would enjoy: “Tech”, “Startups”, “Businesses”… And categories like “Sports”, “Gaming” and “Music” are also available.
Besides, the application comes with some handy features such as being able to wake you up with a weather report, updates from these sports teams that you support and even your friends’ birthdays. Whatever makes you start the day on a brighter note.
Coming back to the reading of news, now, it must be pointed that Snackr doesn’t summarize them. No, what it does is to read out the first paragraph of each story to you. You can “star” that story if it sounded good, and read the full piece when you have the time. Or you can have the full story sent to you via email. It’s all done by tapping on the email icon that is displayed as part of any story.
