News– it’s always happening
News is ceaselessly occurring and being reported. There are over 20 billion web pages containing news, entertainment and everything in between, with countless new sites being added every day. Newsreaders save a bit of effort, but why spend your valuable time searching and sifting to find the few sites with quality, fresh content? Sprout sorts through content from local and national newspapers, online periodicals, news blogs and countless other sources. In order to get you the personalized content you crave, Sprout draws on articles from popular websites such as the New York Times and CNN, as well as from less prominent sites that you’d probably never think to look for on your own. That way, today’s top headlines and today’s most quirky articles are available for your enjoyment, and - with Sprout’s powerful Seeker Solutions’ engine, Sprout will show you only those news articles and blogs that are most personally relevant to you.
Do you love the blog craze, or only read the news blogs you have to keep up with? With 66 million blog sites online, and an average increase of over 85,000 new sites every day (BlogPulse, December 2007), everyone and their Granny's chinchilla has their opportunity to blog. Only interested in today’s top headlines, or the latest chinchilla update? Sprout doesn’t judge, it just delivers what you like. Let Sprout weed out what’s irrelevant to you. Read what you like, whenever you want to.
What do you want to know about?
Are the highest ranking news sites disappointing you? That may be because those news sites tend to favor popular social news items to help bolster profits. Prefer the search engine route? Even if you have a good idea of what you want to find, you’ll quickly be overwhelmed by the sheer number of articles online. For example, doing a keyword search for ‘breaking political news’ will turn up millions of results. So, you refine your search terms and try again. And again. But even the most powerful search engine can't anticipate your needs or preferences. That's where Sprout’s hyper-personalized software kicks in. Instead of giving you an endless pool of possibilities to dive into, Sprout shows you the news articles and blog postings you want to see, based on your ever-changing user profile.
