Exley touts a new way to crowd source news on iOS

Exley is an iPhone and iPad app that changes the way that people get thei news coming from a completely crowd-based format. The Exley app pulls information that matters to the user and pushes aside the rest. EXLEY delivers up-to-the-second news, entertainment, and information for wherever you work and play. Better yet, EXLEY sorts the facts from the fluff, breaking down the articles and sending you the most significant facts, statistics, quotes, and multimedia.
NEWS BY DEMOGRAPHIC - EXLEY will let you know of every single celeb sighting, breaking news story in your area down to the city based on your location
CROWD CREATED - Integrate existing bloggers and recruit new ones into a publishing ecosystem to assure authentic and diverse sources as well as a global coverage in real-time

EXLEY SHARING - Sharing scoops drive activity and the viral popularity.  The readers rate or share the content with a fingertip to judge the entertainment/relevancy factor.

FOLLOW NEWS, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - Rather than writing new articles each time new details of a story emerges, Exley curators add a spot or more to an existing story.  Readers are able to follow a story and get push notifications as the story continues to evolve.  Tapping on an updated story brings the reader right to the new information.

EXLEY SCOOP HUNTER - With our scoop hunter we provide an easy-to-use micro-blogging tool for sending in geo-based content (text, video, pictures) to the curator community. A badge system assures the stickiness and publisher reputation.  With strict format and creation laws this community produces in real-time highly engaging content for the readers. (Think of people tweeting but it's a more carefully controlled, news servicing tool)
