News Alert Services

Here is a new book that has got me thinking. Perhaps i need to look into news alert services instead of be buffeted by whatever news comes my way:

Choosing and Using a News Alert Service
by Robert Berkman

In the age of the Internet, 24-hour cable news, and globalization, what counts the most for many researchers and news users, particularly business news users, is how quickly they are alerted to important breaking news. There are dozens of competing firms that offer an e-mail-based news alert service. But how to know which one is best?

This comprehensive new guide explains how these tools work and then identifies, compares, and evaluates more than two dozen free, inexpensive, and fee-based alert services. It helps you pick the right one, and advises how to get the most out of the news alert once you begin the service. A detailed appendix also compares specific news source coverage for the major news alert vendors.

Unrelenting Information Overload

Information overload abounds in our society:

* In the last 12 months, 165,000 books were published just in the U.S.

* 1,100 new magazines were launched.

* 720,000 network and cablecast programs were broadcast.

* 650 films were produced.

* The Smithsonian Institution added 1,200,000 items to its collection.

Is it any wonder that you are experiencing information overload, which results in wasted time, poor decision-making, and stress?
