I typically read the newspaper every morning, if it’s arrived before I leave the house for work. I don’t typically watch the news, just because I’m not usually home when the news is on, and when I am, I’ve got better things to do. I tend to get a lot of my news online instead. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s quick. I don’t have to listen to 5 minutes of weather and consumer reports in order to find out what the score was in last night’s hockey game.

Now, thanks to The News Room, I can not only get the news for my own benefit, but I can share it and make some cash. Because this is an advertising supported product, I can embed relevant news onto my blog and get paid for sharing it. For instance, I was able to find this neat video of the play of the night (Rob Neidermeyer) from the Stanley Cup Finals to share here. It’s relevant, timely, and I make money!

You can also earn prizes for using the service. Putting that video up was easy too - you just find a category of news, pick a story, and share it. The layout is easy to change, and all of the code is provided to you.
