Something is stirring deep within the technology incubator Betaworks: A personalized news service called News.ME that is being developed in collaboration with The New York Times. On Thursday, a cryptic placeholder for the service went live. “We’re building something wonderful and amazing in the social news space,” said John Borthwick, chief executive officer at Betaworks. The News.me product has been in the works for the last six months and is expected to be out sometime later this year. It will initially debut as an iPad application, although a Web version may be introduced at some point.
