USAToday.com Debuts News Deck

USAToday.com debuted a page called News Deck, which compiles the site’s top stories in eight categories: News, Travel, Money, Sports, Life, Tech, Weather and Offbeat, TechCrunch reported.

Users can scroll down in each category for more headlines, and they have the option to choose between the site’s top stories and most popular stories.

USA Today told TechCrunch it aims to test products like this on the Web to determine what users need from a news site in terms of finding headlines and top stories.
