Yahoo Opens a Digital Newsstand

Yahoo announced the debut of Livestand, a publishing platform that aims to deliver personalized content to mobile devices.
 The platform, a digital newsstand, will offer a continuous stream of programming based on users’ interests. Yahoo plans to push the platform across multiple formats, including tablets, smartphones, and Web browsers .
The platform, which will be available on the iPad and on Android tablets in the first half of this year, will also take into account a user’s location and the time of day. Initially, Livestand will draw from Yahoo’s content library, a vast portfolio that includes Yahoo News and Flickr, but eventually, it will be available to third-party publishers.
