Print publications might be leech big bucks , but that does n’t mean nobody reads them . And since these are connected day , you ’ll for sure bid to share some riveting print story with friend using internet applied science .
But how do we apportion a physical newspaper article in the cyberspace world ? depend no further thanPeekster . primitively launch in the UK , the divine service has flourish its ocular article search to the United States with living for articles from The Washington Post , The Wall Street Journal , and The New York Times . The app works mostly as advertised in the video above . Take a pic of the text you ’re reading in print , and the app will call up the entanglement version of the story . From there , you could proceed read on your mobile equipment , share the story , or use a bookmarking service to save it .

Soon enough , it might even be as light as Googling the headline of the story on your mobile earphone , clicking a link to the clause , and using the ubiquitous share push to push it to Twitter / Facebook / Pocket / Instapaper .
Which makes you believe . “ Oh wait , what was wrong with just Googling and share articles myself ? Was I doing it wrong ? ” Peekster seems to provide a goodly little solution for an confessedly specific problem , but how modest of a problem is too small to solve ?
We just debated this for a moment , and thought we ’d put the question to you . Do you need an app to scan headlines so you do n’t have to Google them ? Is this something you need ? Does anybody ?
