NewCred Social Media Based News Service Any site whose mission claims to harness the "power of the web to restore credibility in news media" is worth a closer look. Especially when they claim to be apart of the social media revolution. Especially when its plans includes news aggregation. NewsCred, a news aggregator that ranks stories by the credibility of their source, has launched its public site. Instead of relying on popularity, NewsCred allows users to rate each story, author and publication’s credibility, which is then plugged into an algorithm to determine the site’s prominent headlines. But isn't rating a biased measurement? Nevermind.
