Microsoft has a bombastic announcement on Skype Blogs about a new feature that will rock your media world in Skype. The new feature, called Skype Channels will bring you the relevant titles powered by Microsoft News.

Skype has partnered up with a whopping 3,500 news providers to deliver a smorgasbord of information. If that doesn’t get your heart racing, let us name-drop a few to get you excited: NBC News, CNN, The Washington Post, and the list goes on. It may soon touch5,000 providers a monthand now that’s like having a newsstand at your virtual doorstep and yes, all for FREE!

Besides the traditional channels, Skype will also feature so-called AI-powered Channels. There, you will find curated results based on your preferences, picked up from from the internet.

Skype already has a section called My feed, but Skype Channels has a different format. After tapping Explore Channels, you can pick a publisher or search for a topic. You can add more topics of interest, such as artificial intelligence, art, and politics, and you will get curated articles that match them.

The rather useful feature about Skype Channels is the fact that you can share the stories with your friends inside and outside Skype.

Although Microsoft describes Skype Channels as incredibly cool, you can do that with any browser with AI.
