Top thumbed news sources

For two weeks you have been able to rate the sources you were reading with a simple thumbs up/thumbs down feature and we are very happy to see many of you are using it. Let's have a look at who you like or dislike!

First the best: the top news sources since the launch of thumbs up/down are:
1. Lifehacker
2. SkySports - Premiership
3. TechCrunch
4. Jokes4all
5. CNNMoney - World business news
6. MSNBC - Technology & science
7. The Times.co.za - Sport News
8. The Times.co.za - Breaking News
9. Xbox 360 Fanboy
10. Gizmodo

Swedish entertainment site Tjuvlyssnat made the top spot for other language sources with an amazing 100% of thumbs up.

On the thumbs down side we weren't surprised to find sources that deliver feeds with very little content. Yet we weren't expecting the Perez Hilton blog to have only 72% of thumbs down. What is wrong with Perez Hilton?

At the bottom end of this ranking we find another Swedish news source: Dagens Industri. We can only hope they increase the amount of information in their RSS feed soon to give higher satisfaction to mobile readers.

Keep your thumbs warm and we'll be able to give you more info!
