Axel Hansen Created Newsle for Users to Follow People in the News
Everyone knows that annoying feeling that comes with hearing about news weeks after they should have been aware of it. Sometimes it’s about a friend, a boss, a business associate, or a celebrity they follow intensely, but it’s almost always something they wish they’d known sooner. Cool person in technology Axel Hansen created Newsle specifically for people in this situation. Newsle automatically finds news from hundreds of sources and matches it against each of its users’ specific follow lists to present them with news that only has to do with the people they care about the most. Hansen’s program starts out with users connecting to their Facebook or LinkedIn account and importing their friends or business colleagues onto their follow list first. This process automatically sets up users so they see news about anyone in their social or business networks the minute it appears on the web. Newsle scours the Internet and finds out when a news outlet reports something about anyone in a user’s network. Anyone who uses Newsle but can’t seem to connect it to any social networks properly can get assistance through phone tech support.
Once users connect themselves to Hansen’s program, they can add others to their Newsle feed besides the people in their social networks. On Newsle, people can follow celebrities, CEOs, or anyone else of note. This feature is helpful if someone wants to keep up with news about certain sports figures or actors. It is also useful for anyone in business who wants to keep up on news about major figures in their industry or even about direct competitors. For example, a CEO in a field like Internet security could follow the heads of other companies to stay up to date on their activities. Hansen wants Newsle to filter out unwanted noise from the constant stream of news that bombards people today.
Newsle is Hansen’s first major project, as he is a young entrepreneur. He attended Harvard in the computer science department until 2011. He began work on Newsle while still in college, but didn’t dedicate himself full time to his startup until he was no longer in school. Hansen’s previous professional experience also includes time as a research intern at Dartmouth as well as time as a software engineering intern at Google. Hansen has built a great start to his young career and it will be interesting to see how far this cool person in technology can take Newsle.
