Internet News Services Explode Online
It seems no matter how much information comes available
online, people thirst for more.
To illustrate this point, just take a look at all the online
news services sprouting up on the web like garden weeds.
With the click of a mouse you can instantly search thousands
of news sources for specific and timely information on virtually
any topic you choose.
Heck, if you're a real news junky, you can even get up-to-
the-minute news emailed straight to your desktop!
Now, I'm the first one to say that nothing beats a good
old-fashioned newspaper you hold in your hands.
Few things rate as relaxing as a cup of coffee, a quiet
morning, and today's newspaper ready for my inspection. In fact,
my day doesn't officially start until I walk to the end of my
driveway to retrieve the paper (occasionally from under a
bush).
But as much as I love the paper, it rarely contains stories on
highly-specialized subjects such as the latest email marketing
laws, html parsing, and search engine promotion.
Of course, it doesn't make sense for virtually any local
newspaper to carry news about email marketing laws (other than
how they affect consumers) because the market demand simply
doesn't exist on that level.
However, around the world, thousands of people just like me
want to know the instant a news story breaks on the latest "Can
Spam" legislation, and that's where online news services come
into play.
Log on to http://news.google.com, http://news.yahoo.com
and www.news.com
to search thousands of different news sources from around the
world.
On these sites you can dig up information on anything from
current world events and your favorite Spanish soccer team, to
cattle tagging regulations in Argentina (no kidding) and the
exploding online auction markets in mainland China.
News from around the world on virtually any subject waits
literally just a few keystrokes and a mouse-click away.
An incredibly useful feature offered by many of these sites
includes email notification based on your keyword search
criteria.
So instead of paying a "clipping" service to find articles and
send them to you, these websites will do it free.
Now how could you use this type of news notification
service?
Well, imagine you own stock in a specific company. You could
subscribe to a number of different news services and have them
send you breaking stories about the company, CEO, affiliated
companies and anything else you choose.
Or, let's say you deal in a very specific industry, such as
real estate investment publishing.
You could sign up to get notified any time a news story gets
published about changing regulations, interest rates or other
factors affecting your business.
All this online news certainly does not rate a substitute for
morning coffee, local and national news, and an important ritual
to start the day, but it has a place, especially for extremely
specialized areas of interest, hobbies, or business news.
Watch for many new services, software, and opportunities to
arise from this growing and dynamic area of online
publishing.
