Break the Bubble

If you don’t already know, your internet experience is filtered. Your google search turns up different results than mine. If you tend to click through to MSNBC then liberal and left leaning links will pop up on your search. Fox watcher? You’ll get news from the right.

Result? We don’t get our views challenged. We reinforce what we already believe and we become ever more polarized.

Here’s a cool solution (for news filtering and other) – Flipboard.

This cool and free little app enables you to quickly and easily bounce from The Economist to Al Jazeera to Salon to The Washington Post to 30 other news outlets. Pick a different one every day.

Your head might spin, but the bubble will burst. And who knows where that open-mindedness might lead?
