• To the Stars

The more you read, the more News360 will learn about your interests and can personalize your experience.  We’ve implemented collecting stars for our web version now, too.  Collect up to 3 stars a day—collect 20 for optimal personalization!  Over time, our service will start delivering stories tailored closer to your interests first.  Even better, the stars you collect in your account are synced across all your devices and versions of News360.

• Do You Find Something Interesting?

There’s no need to wait for personalization to take effect.  Speed up and refine the process by clicking and marking stories as “interesting” while you read to help train News360.

Marks Stories As Interesting

If you change your mind and no longer find a story interesting, you can unmark the them.  Just like “Saved Stories,” you can go to “Liked” at the top of the page to see which stories have been marked.

See All Your Liked Stories

Don’t worry, all your favorite features are still around, too!  Save articles, share via social networks and e-mail, and most importantly get the whole picture of a story with multiple sources.  Remember, with News360 look at the big picture, from all points of view.
