I currently have 5 news apps on my phone (I had 7 until a few months ago), and I have also been following several\u00a0news networks on Twitter; all\u00a0in the effort of “keeping up with the times”! \u00a0But the problem with both apps and tweets is: first, they update too frequently, and secondly, I hate searching\u00a0through hundreds\u00a0of\u00a0articles. I just wish someone could\u00a0select specific news pieces for me that tell\u00a0me everything happening around the world that’s worth knowing. Something like Yahoo News Digest does, but just less frequently. Yahoo\u00a0picks up 7-10 highlights twice a day, and distributes\u00a0a “morning digest”\u00a0and an “evening digest”.<\/p>\n

Thus, on this day, Jan 26, 2016, I am pleased to introduce to you: MSM Weekly! MSM Weekly\u00a0will be your\u00a0weekly news digest categorized by industry such as Tech, World, U.S, Politics, Economy and Markets. Although I’ve struggled with the plethora of news apps, I have somehow managed to stay at top with\u00a0tech news (for those of you who don’t know me, I have a high affinity for the technology industry). To give you a glimpse of our\u00a0new weekly feature,\u00a0here is this week’s Tech News…<\/p>\n

#1: Google reportedly paid Apple $1B for iOS Default Search:\u00a0<\/strong>Search traffic and hence understanding of user preferences\u00a0are critical\u00a0to Google’s business.\u00a0\u00a0In fact, according to a recent revelation it paid Apple $1B to be the default search in iOS.

#2:\u00a0GoPro lays off 7% workforce after\u00a0disappointing holiday\u00a0sales; Stock drops 23%. \u00a0<\/strong>While GoPro had previously experienced an explosion of new staffing, growing at a 50 percent rate over the last two years, the company needs to look at more revenue streams. Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n

#3: “You can’t ban encryption. It’s math” –<\/strong> Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder, Wikipedia.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Watch the video here …\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

#4: New! Facebook Sports Stadium.<\/strong>\u00a0A new Facebook feature that focuses\u00a0on expert commentaries, lives scores and game info. So we’ll now catch the next football season together on Facebook.<\/em>\u00a0Read more\u00a0…<\/a><\/p>\n

#5: How about an Apple VR headset? <\/strong>Apple recently hired a\u00a0top augmented\/VR researcher, and had also filed a patent for Google like headset about 11 months ago. Is something in works? Read here…<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s hard to keep it to just 5 news stories, but I’ll stick to that limit as the idea with the MSM weekly is to give you a quick update. All links take you to Tech Crunch this week as they are a quick read, but we’ll have more diversity as we go forward.<\/p>\n

Please let me know your thoughts about the idea. And, we’d love to have contributions\u00a0from you for\u00a0your favorite industry or news domain.<\/p>\n

Thanks,
