App of the week is a weekly showcase of an awesome app developed on Windows 8 or Windows Phone. Got an app you love that you want us to talk about? Leave us a comment and tell us which app and why you love it!

One of my favourite apps to read news on the web is Pulse.me.

Pulse started as a beautiful app which pulls content from thousands of news sources and blogs bringing together a customized view of your favorite content in one stunning experience. The success of the app was, and continues to be, phenomenal.

With Internet Explorer and HTML5 that beautiful app experience has come to the web – all without compromising the performance, or the award winning UI. And because IE10 and Windows 8 are perfect for touch – the Pulse touch experience on a Windows 8 device surpasses anything you can do on today’s tablet.

The Pulse site is part of an exciting new trend we’re seeing: companies that have built successful apps are looking to expand their reach even more through the web, without compromising the experience their customers have grown to love. Tapping into the capabilities of a modern browser, like IE10, and advancements in web standards, companies like Pulse are able to provide users with an experience that meets, and may even exceed, what is possible in an app. Check it out:

For quick access to the pulse.me application, all you need to do is to pin the app from your IE browser. That way, you can access it as an app on your Windows 8 Start screen.

Have fun reading everyone!
