23 Mobile Things. Thing 21. Free-for-all

I chose the IHT 125 years app. It contains 125 years of front page news from the International Herald Tribune. It began as the Paris Herald in 1887, then as The New York Herald Tribune in 1935, and became the International Herald Tribune in 1967. In 2013 the paper became the International New York Times. I find this app interesting since it provides a time line of historical events and the articles reflect the nuances of the times. It can be searched casually by swiping through the pages or by looking for information by date in the index. It takes awhile for this app to download but it is worth the wait. Selected articles can be read by enlarging the page and there is a little lag time before the new size comes into focus.
