Quotes“Fingertips is the most accessible site for people to enjoy their own personal mix of news and information”, says Ian Hambleton, founder of Fingertips. “So many personalised news sites are unnecessarily complicated and don’t have the everyday web user in mind. We really wanted to change that and appeal to a wider audience whatever their interest. And we’re really excited to deliver this to consumers for free.”
