Topix.net, originally uploaded by edkohler.

Topix.net is a news aggregation site, news forum, and classifieds site. While Topix.net may look in many ways like a typical newspaper site, it’s different in one very important way: it doesn’t have any reporters. The news stories displayed on Topix are aggregated from newspapers, AP wires, blogs, and other news sources to create the unique news format.

What makes Topix.net particularly interesting is the site’s ability to create custom local homepages based on city or zip code searches. Try entering your hometown’s city or zip code to see how Topix.net builds a page just for you that probably includes news sources you may not even be aware of or read regularly.
