Flackr strives to be your dashboard for all the breaking news on twitter.The site aggregates interesting news data from various twitter accounts and presents them to you as a continuous stream.

Basically, the site follows a set of twitter accounts belonging to various news media and tweets from such twitter accounts are displayed to you. You do not need to follow each of these accounts to receive breaking news updates on twitter anymore.

Besides, you do not need to refresh the homepage to view the latest results. About every 40 seconds the site auto refreshes to present the latest news to you. You can even choose to watch all the news on any particular topic of interest. There’s a search box to search through the various news tweets.

Flackr Says

Flackr makes the news from Twitter accessible in dashboard form. During the 80’s and 90’s, if something happened, you would watch TV all day. Now, you can simply keep your browser open on our home page, and you’ll get news updates as they happen, almost instantly. Flackr also creates pages per event where you can track all updates of a specific news item, and watch pictures and videos as they come in.

Flackr tracks many different news sources on twitter. Instead of having to follow them all, you just follow Flackr, and we’ll filter out the hot news for you so you can concentrate on what’s important.
