ÿÿÿÿNEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 1997--
ÿÿÿÿ"You can't always get what you want." --Mick Jagger, Head Stone
ÿÿÿÿ"You can get what you want -- and what you need
ÿÿÿÿ-- with ClariNet's NewsDrill."
ÿÿÿÿ--Roy Folk, President, ClariNet Communications
ÿÿÿÿClariNet Communications, a subsidiary of Individual, Inc., (Nasdaq: INDV), today introduced NewsDrill, the world's first automated linking product that enables users to get all the news they want with links to the Internet resources they want.
ÿÿÿÿNewsDrill, the Internet's most advanced news product, allows readers to get easy access to news stories and the stories behind those stories. Its proprietary software constantly searches the web for sites that complement current and future news stories. "These sites are reviewed by our editors, not machines," said Roy Folk, president of ClariNet Communications. "As we edit thousands of breaking news stories each day, NewsDrill matches the story content with our site database to create relevant links. The links are then reviewed by ClariNet editors. This human editorial review is what differentiates NewsDrill from the competition.
ÿÿÿÿ"NewsDrill will give its business users a competitive advantage throughout the day, add relevant information for educational users and offer ISP subscribers a depth of news unheard of before now," continued Folk.
ÿÿÿÿNewsDrill editors process more than 3,500 stories a day and place them into more than 500 subject groups, enabling true personalization of content. During a typical day, NewsDrill delivers tens of thousands of real-time links with editor-review. NewsDrill by ClariNet, offered for a limited time with a free 30 day trial, can be found on the web at newsdrill.clari.net.
