Ampparit – Great News Portal From Finland

Ampparit.com is a free news portal from Joensuu, Eastern Finland. Ampparit provides a quick glance to most popular news services in Finland and updates with links to fresh titles real time. The idea resembles quite much Google News, but obviously is more useful to Finnish users with their better following of local news sources. Ampparit does quite accurately recognize the category the article belongs to, making it easy to follow a particular area of interest.

Ampparit also has more content to support the portal, like weather and tv data. New feature is also links to Web-TV content. The site’s UI look’s lean and functional.

Site’s portal idea is well executed, and user spends quite a lot time in the site, occasionally clicking a link and then coming back. I guess it provides great value to advertisers. There’s also a pro version to provide coverage of specific subject. All in all it’s a great site for news addicts!
