SoupSoup - Understanding News

It’s a good idea and executed fairly well.

When you hover over a news headline, with short summary, the relevant information comes up on the right. Open what you want in a new tab, or window, and you’re on your way to understanding the news a little better - without having to copy/paste anything.

Sources: BBC, CNN, FOX News, Newsweek, TIME, EuroNews, National Geographic, Le Figaro, Liberation, Le Monde, Techcrunch, Engadget, Gizmodo, Wired Mag, Lifehacker, BoingBoing, Digg, Slashdot.

A site with some customization would be ideal. If you were able to submit your own news courses, or couple a Greasemonkey script with your feedreader that would do the same thing, the idea would manifest properly.

Is there any way to grab related links from Wikipedia into feedreaders or news articles?
