If you’re a news junkie like me you’ll love this new site, which enables a customised search through online UK newspapers. Like all the best ideas it’s remarkably simple, but to my mind fills a real gap for those (again, like me) who like to read different perspectives on the same story, or even just scour the papers for extra gobbets of information. Chipwrapper allows you to do this without having to trawl aimlessly through the far more all-consuming Google News.
Having said that, it could do with a bit of refining. Receiving the results in descending publication order would be useful. A search for ‘Obama’, for instance, returns a list of stories from the dim and distant September past.
Another query: does it cover all the regional papers as well?
