[Newsforwhatyoudo.com](http://Newsforwhatyoudo.com) is a social news site designed to let you  
collaborate with colleagues in the same industry and job function.  
Here’s what’s unique about the site:

1. Comprehensive coverage of news that matters to you in your  
profession or hobby. Most social news sites rely on users posting  
specific articles resulting in limited coverage and spam.  
NewsForWhatYouDo automatically pulls content from sources that you and  
the community identify as useful, and lets you discover new content  
read by others in the same field.
2. Relevant Content. Tools for drilling down on specific topics  
and collaborative filtering help you quickly find what’s important.  
Because content, topics, and ranking are all driven by people in the  
same line of work,you get information that’s useful instead of watered  
down for the general public.
3. A Community of Peers. The site helps you have a conversation  
with others in the same line of work, allowing you to network,  
recruit, job hunt, and be better at what you do.
