PimpMyNews is a new web 2.0 start-up that lets you create your own talking newspaper that discusses only the topics you want to hear. What it does is takes the text from your favorite blog or site and converts it to mp3 files, which lets you listen to them on any mp3 player whenever you want.
Right now you can choose from thousands of different news sites and blogs to create your own customized playlists, all at the cost of nothing. Here is why PimpMyNews thinks they are “Cool:”
- It Keeps You “Current” on what’s happening in town, around the globe and with your friends who publish blogs… on just about any topic you can dream of.
- It Puts You in Control - With PimpMyNews YOU are the master - YOU decide what topics to listen to, and when and where you want to listen to them (kind of like Tivo, but for news & blogs)
- It Saves You Time - Break free from your PC, TV or radio and stop searching or waiting for content you like - PimpMyNews scours the web 24/7 for YOU, hunting down content based on your preferences… Use the time it frees up to do something fun or productive!
- Its Beats the Heck Out of R-E-A-D-I-N-G - PimpMyNews “automagically” turns favorite text and news blogs to MP3 files that you can listen to on your PC, iPod, iPhone (or any MP3 player) anytime, anywhere.
- It’s Just Plain Fun - In addition to listening to your fav news and blogs, PimpMyNews lets you create personalized playlists and podcasts, and share, discuss and rate stories and blog posts and more!
In a nut shell that is what PimpMyNews has to offer, so there really isn’t much more to add. So, if you think you would like listening to news from sites and blogs on the go using your mp3 player, or if you think it “beats the heck out of reading,” then sign-up for PimpMyNews, customize your playlist and have fun.

It is a pretty cool concept but I don’t see me using it that much.
