"PUSH" CHANNEL FILTERS FOR INFO OVERLOAD
Verity Inc. and Tierra Communications have developed products that
filter data channels "pushed" to Web users from content-delivery
companies. Verity's product will expand its search engine's agent
technology to allow users to fine-tune the information they receive by
creating a profile for what they want to receive off of a Web site's
channel. Tierra is developing a server-based model of its Highlights
browser utility, which monitors Web content and matches users'
profiles on a dynamic basis. "Verity and Tierra both have pieces of
the puzzle. Verity has filtering and back-end expertise, and Tierra
has a nice client with a channel-type metaphor that works great with
browsers," says a Forrester Research analyst. (InfoWorld Electric 10
