PubSub Launches New Features for Blog Tracking Service
PubSub Concepts, Inc. announced that its "matching engine"—online for free at http://www.pubsub.com—is now tracking more than 6.5 million Weblogs, which the company said makes it "the Internet's most comprehensive blog-monitoring service." The New York-based company, which is celebrating its second anniversary, also debuted a new, easy-to-use Web interface that offers new features for users.PubSub's Internet-scale matching engine is a "prospective" search tool that complements traditional "retrospective" search engines. PubSub's prospective search matches user requests against new documents as they're published—in real time, all the time. Every day, PubSub's matching engine performs billions of matches of new items against user subscriptions. The instant a match is made, PubSub alerts the user via RSS (really simple syndication) or through the instant messaging (IM)-based PubSub Sidebar, now available as a plug-in for the Firefox and Internet Explorer Web browsers. PubSub monitors more than 6.5 million blogs, as well as 50,000 USENET newsgroups, all SEC/EDGAR filings, press releases from major wire services, and FAA airport delay alerts. PubSub's RSS and ATOM feeds are compatible with Web-based news aggregators like Bloglines and My Yahoo! as well as desktop aggregators like NewsGator, FeedDemon, and Gush.
