Why One Big Mobile News Publisher Is Embracing Google Glass


Depending on who you ask, wearable computers will either be the next big thing in technology or a completely superfluous and socially unacceptable line of gadgets only for pretentious techno-nerds. Mark Johnson wants you to know he's in the former group, at least where Google Glass is concerned. Johnson is the CEO of Zite, a personalized mobile news app that's making the transition to Google Glass. The new Glass app, which it's announcing today, will deliver the top 10 stories in a user’s Zite app straight to the screen hanging in front of her face. The app will also be able to read news stories aloud. Zite follows other publishers such as the New York Times, Twitter and Facebook, all of whom have already released Glass apps.
