Download/HomepageWith thousands of newsgroups and hundreds of thousands of new postings each day, the
USENET news service is a gold mine of timely information --if you can only find what
you're looking for. And before it disappears --because of the volume, articles often live
only a matter of days before they're removed. You can't possibly subscribe of every group
(or know exactly where to look in all cases). And doing extensive manual searches is very
time consuming.
NewsMonger can provide regular, automatic scans to the far corners of USENET, grabbing
every relevant news item important to your business, product, or special interest. Highly
customized search filters help ensure you separate the wheat from the chaff, so what's
delivered to your desktop is an organized listing of useful postings from across USENET
that you may have otherwise missed. (You can also choose email notification of search
results.)
This is a simple tool to use, but comes with a wizard-based setup of search topics to
ensure you're directing NewsMonger effectively. Once your topic(s) are specified by
keywords and filters to narrow down returns, NewsMonger literally does the rest. You can
invoke searches manually, or configure NewsMonger to work in the background for automated
searching to you chosen time schedule. Conduct multiple searches hourly, daily, weekly,
monthly -- without lifting a finger.
NewsMonger uses the powerful AltaVista engine, and all news items returned are sorted by
topic category, so you can sensibly manage whatever mountain (or molehill) of data it
fetches. It's an ideal way to find out who's talking about your product or company, and
where. Or what folks are saying about your competitors. It's also a useful sleuth to find
out where potential customers might be, what responses you need to make to postings
(whether they're yours or not) -- and even if there are flamers out there forging your
name to bogus postings.
NewsMonger removes duplicate postings, adds new ones, and allows you to post or reply
using NewsMonger, your browser, or email client. It reschedules any queries that were
interrupted, and keeps an events-history log for on-line help or troubleshooting if
needed.
I like NewsMonger's straightforward style, its operating speed and flexibility, its
browser layout, and how effortless news management becomes when you use it. Instant access
on USENET to the Right Stuff is no mean feat. See for yourself. NewsMonger's
fully-functional 45-day trial gives you plenty of time to scour the depth and breath of
USENET. Register to keep it running, get rid of the nag screen, and be eligible for user
support.
