Ziff Davis launches free TechPulse app aggregating ZDNET and five other tech sites
CNET Group has released TechPulse, a free iOS and Android app that combines articles and videos from ZDNET, CNET, PCMag, Mashable, Lifehacker, and ExtremeTech into a single feed. Users can filter the feed to show only certain publications, and all content is accessible without a subscription.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By offering a non-algorithmic, chronological feed with publication filters, TechPulse positions itself against recommendation-driven apps and may appeal to readers wary of AI-curated content. Bundling multiple outlets under one free app could also help Ziff Davis consolidate traffic and attention across its properties rather than losing readers to competing aggregators or search changes.
- TechPulse is a free app from CNET Group combining six tech publications into one feed.
- Users can filter the feed to view all outlets or select individual ones like ZDNET.
- The app offers articles and videos without requiring any subscription.
