PubSub to Syndicate Business Wire News Feeds
Users of Monitoring Service Get Immediate Notification of Press Releases through Syndicated News Feeds
BOSTON, June 24, 2005 - PubSub, the essential tool for anyone tracking what people are saying about the topics they care about, today announced it is working with Business Wire, the global leader in news distribution, to disseminate more than 1,000 full-text news releases daily via a real-time feed to the PubSub Service at www.pubsub.com. PubSub users can now select and receive immediate notification of news releases from Business Wire containing information that is most relevant to them.
PubSub is a free service that monitors more than 12 million Internet sources on users' behalf, notifying them instantly when things they care about are published in blogs, press releases, SEC filings, newsgroups and other sources. Business Wire services the media, the Internet, online services and databases, and the global investment community in 150 countries in 45 languages.
"PubSub's active service for receiving news is one of the most targeted delivery methods interested readers can use to get our client's news," said Marcia Taylor, content development manager for Business Wire. "This is a great way to keep up with news and receive relevant information without searching for it. It's truly an inventive tool."
Matched results, delivered as an RSS or Atom feed into a news aggregator, can be read on the web or delivered via email. Alternatively, PubSub provides a browser sidebar that pushes updates as they occur, eliminating the need to hit the refresh key to get up-to-date results.
"We are very excited to distribute Business Wire content to the PubSub community," said Bob Wyman, CTO and co-founder of PubSub. "Business Wire has one of the most respected names in the information distribution industry and PubSub's users will benefit tremendously from this resource."
