Yahoo has introducing a new app which will deliver personalized news and media to users based on their preferences. Livestand will be available soon for the Apple iPad and Android tablets.

The idea is that Livestand will draw content from around the web based on your location, interests, and the time of day. Content will come from Yahoo's Sports, News, and Finance properties, as well as Flickr and the Yahoo Contributor Network (which seems to be the name Yahoo is giving to the content farm it acquired from Associated Content).

Eventually Livestand may also make the jump from tablets to smartphones and others

The app look similar to the new Daily app. Which is a pay subscription.

This may be the first attempt to by the search engines to take the steam out of subscrition based news delivery.
