They say that "information is power" and although seeing the current panorama of Spain and the whole world, this is something that I find it increasingly difficult to believe, we cannot turn our back on the most current information and knowledge in general, although only is to be able to have topics on which to discuss with knowledge of the facts. The Internet has taken information to the extreme, causing what some describe as an excess of information which paradoxically leads to misinformation. This is what is known as infoxication, a term well explained by the expert Alfonso Cornellá. Fortunately, there are mechanisms to stay informed while we escape from that infoxication.
In the Mac App Store, as in the App Store for iOS, we have a large number and variety of applications that allow us to access the most current news and all branches of knowledge; app that if, in addition, we use it correctly, they allow us to discriminate what is better from the superfluous, choose what really interests us, or save those that we want to read for the most opportune moment. Today I show you the most popular free news applications for Mac, that is, the most downloaded by users. Whether or not they are the best, that must be decided by each one.
In the number one position of the free news applications for Mac is Twitter, for some a social network, for others a news app. It is the company itself that is defined in the News category, so I will not be the one to discuss it.
Twitter allows us to be informed of what is cooking at all times, but it is also the result of false news, especially those related to alleged deaths of celebrities. Following prestigious and verified media and personalities, and the use of the hashtag, are the best tools on Twitter.
Second we have Pocket, an application based on the maxim "save for later". Pocket it is a personal library of readings that the user creates based on their own interests. Did you just see an article that interests you a lot but that you can't read right now? With just one click you save it in Pocket and you can read it with confidence whenever and wherever you want. In addition, you can create labels and assign them to your saved readings, in case today you only want to read about cinema, and not about politics.
