Cebit gets the NewsNow treatment

January 31st 2003

The UK's leading news aggregator www.NewsNow.co.uk has added Cebit to its free newsfeed listings service to aid IT and media professionals who need to track events in the run up to Europe's largest IT show.

"We constantly add to our free newsfeed offerings and we thought that tracking Cebit will help many firms and journalists keep an eye on how the show is shaping up. We try to constantly add new newsfeeds that are relevant and useful to help users of our portal and to show how powerful our search engine is. I hope putting Cebit in this early saves people time surfing around for Cebit news," said Nick Gilbert, CEO, NewsNow.co.uk.

Suggestions for newsfeeds are often made by NewsNow subscribers and ideas are welcomed via the web site. The criteria for inclusion is relevance and the volume of news that the keywords produce.
