Newsflashr.com aims to out-speed Yahoo & Google News

New technology enables a faster way to track headline news across all the most credible news sources

BEDFORD, MA – Feb 26, 2008 – newsflashr.com launches next-generation news aggregator; newsflashr is powered by state-of-the-art text processing and interface technologies that result in faster access to breaking news headlines around the Web:

- hot topics are extracted from all the most credible news sources in order to display the “collective intelligence” of all the top news editors
- results are displayed within a “hot topic news cloud” in order to transparently link matching news headlines at unprecedented client-side speed (competing services are slower due to their use of standard server-side retrieval operations)
- mainstream news and blog categories can be easily compared while viewing each news source’s independent traffic rankings (provided by Alexa, an Amazon, Inc. company)
- search and track popular topics in news headlines up to 7 days old; search results are immediately displayed in a convenient summary matrix
- customize the “freshness” of highlighted topics and corresponding headlines
- access all headlines on one concise page in either “feeds view” or “topics view”, including photos and images in the news that match selected topics

The freely accessible new service provides a time-saving news interface for journalists, bloggers and news-lovers alike.
