HTC Launches Content Aggregating App

By TechTaffy Desk

HTC has developed a new feature called Blinkfeed, which forms the core part of its just launched HTC One experience. There are more than 10,000 news feeds per-day, available in 16 different languages.

Blinkfeed brings previously hidden content to the home screen, so users can see various content at a glance, without having to open a series of apps. From what we have read so far, Blinkfeed seems something like Pulse/Flipboard meeting Windows Tiles.

HTC has partnered with some 1,400 content partners, including the AOL properties (Huffington Post, Moviefone, Engadget, TechCrunch, and more) the Associated Press, and ESPN, and will provide content aggregated from them on Blinkfeed.  Blinkfeed combines social channels with news content from these HTC partners as well.
