Ananova

Ananova is a straight British news site with a twist - the news is read by a virtual anchorwoman. While this green-haired beauty's speech pattern isn't much better than the computer in the 1980's movie "War Games," it's kind of cool to see the news read by a virtual person. You can choose your type of news: regular, light, quirky, and sporty. Once you choose, Ananova will read the news (accompanied by photos and video) in her own inimitable style. If you're tired of The Naked News (www.nakednews.com) but aren't ready to go back to your local TV news heads, give Ananova a try. She won't disappoint.
