Have you ever wondered how there are so many 'free' news sites?
How do these sites make money? What is their product?
YOU are the Product!

Why do news sites do this? What is the motivation? They have to, because, advertising. They need a constant 'look at this flashy thing' gimmick so you visit the site often. The more you visit, the more ad revenue they make. It is a self enforcing feedback loop for all the players involved. Except, in this game, only you are the loser. The news site is happy to sell you 'news', and the advertiser is happy to sell you whatever junk they are peddling.

Simply go to your favorite news sites, and let the filter do it's thing. If there are articles that make it through the filter, you will see a list of links from that site. When you click on one of those links, you are shown the article, from the site. Clicking on any other link on the site takes you back to the SWEN article page.
Use the SWEN news filter to only show you what is really important. You can use the slider to control how much or how little news you see. Our algorithm gathers news events every fifteen minutes and ranks them based on global importance. The SWEN filter kicks in on most global news sites, and only shows links to articles that match your filter setting.
