App cuts up news into digestible bytes


SAN FRANCISCO —
Offering a new way to read the news on a mobile device, an app launched delivers content in “flash card” segments in an effort to optimize new formats.
Rather than trying to shoehorn existing content into a new environment, we’ve created the first truly mobile first news experience. Circa brings comprehensive yet to-the-point news updates delivered in an engrossing mobile experience.
Circa was co-founded by South Korean entrepreneur Ben Huh, creator of the humoristic Cheezburger Network, and software developer Arsenio Santos. Instead of articles, Circa presents the news with flash card-like segments of facts, statistics, quotes, pictures or maps.
Circa said, Each story has the same details you’d find in traditional articles, but broken down into individual chunks of information that are much easier to consume and also said it had hired a team of excellent journalists from around the world to produce stories and easily keep them up to date as new details emerge, providing great coverage around the clock.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
    I think that you can do with some % to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, that is great blog.
    An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.
