today unveiled Zite 2.0, your intelligent magazine, a complete redesign of its popular personalized news app.
Zite helps you discover interesting things to read, by learning what you like and getting smarter as you use it. Zite is built on an intelligent discovery engine that analyzes millions of articles each day and brings you the best of your favorite magazines, newspapers, authors, blogs, and videos.
Zite-s interface was redesigned from the ground up around three major themes: making Zite smarter than ever, introducing discovery at every turn, and designing Zite to have both beauty and brains. Many features have changed, including:
Zite now encompasses 40,000 topics, 20x the number in the previous version.
Your Top Stories, the main section in Zite, has been expanded to take into account even more of what you like. Simply click the heart icon on any topic and Zite will include more of that subject in Your Top Stories.
Zite is now integrated with Facebook to give you suggestions based on your Facebook history.
When you need inspiration, the Explore Page gives you suggestions of interesting topics to browse and allows you to search through all 40,000 topics.
Topic Tags are intelligent topic suggestions on articles so you can dive deeper into a subject or explore something new.
The Headline News module shows the most talked-about headlines in news, using technology built for CNN Trends.
The Popular on Zite module shows stories that are popular among the Zite community.
Every pixel of Zite has been rethought and redesigned to create a stunning new user interface.
