I came across ( literally ) a most erudite site today at ooonews – although I doubt that their news sources are totally reliable and I suspect that they overuse certain expletives for comic affect; there can be little doubt that they are bringing a fresh and interesting slant on many news stories.
The site is based upon a CMS by Microsoft which is all I need to see to know that they are trustworthy individuals and use an easily recognised colour scheme to help both the normal browser and those with accessibility concerns – vital these days.
There are stories about Pete and Jordan, Jade Goody, Steve Jobs and some other people I have never heard of from this international news source.
Anyway, check it out for yourself : ooo news
