A site to catch up on news stories?

[chatmasta]

Hey,

Does anyone know of a site that publishes summaries of news stories so you can catch up? Like if you haven't followed a story for the beginning, but then it gets really important, but you can't understand because you don't know any of the terms. Take the oil spill for instance. I didn't pay annnny attention to that for a month, then I started watching, but I have no idea what's going on.

Is there a place that can help me?

- Google relevant keyword(s),

- click 'More search tools' in left menu,

- click 'Timeline',

- using timeline graph, drill down to whatever month(s) you want to begin reading at, and go from there (appears to only show news sites),

- ???????,

- Profit.

Hope that helps.

open your wallet. is it filled with 100chf notes?

no; do your work & stop wasting time
yes; every hour spent on nonsense probably lost you one bill.

is work a hobby, or your profession?!

WOW there really isn't a site like this? Maybe I should make one...I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

hobby actually, lol. But the whole point of a site like this would be to save time. Like cliff notes!
