What is WebPartner™?
WebPartner helps you find news and updates as they happen. WebPartner feeds list news and updates from a wide variety of websites and RSS feeds. You can subscribe to existing WebPartner feeds and view the contents online, by email, on your mobile or on Twitter. If you can't find what you want, you can create your own feeds, specifying any number of websites and RSS feeds as the sources of news and updates for your feed.
WebPartner is perfect for busy professionals or anyone needing to track specific types of information like competitors' press releases, product or industry news or areas of personal interest like sports, leisure or entertainment news.
What is a WatchPoint?
A WatchPoint acts as a monitor, alerting you when content changes so you only get the latest from the web. A WatchPoint can monitor a portion of a web page, an image, or an RSS feed. When the WatchPoint notices a change, you'll see a new headline on your WebPartner feed.
How fast can WebPartner display updates?
WebPartner can update headlines as fast as often every 15 minutes at the discretion of the Feed Editor. WebPartner updates always appear before Google Alerts and if the feed is working on the direct source of information you will see updates often before other sites follow along later.
Why is WebPartner faster and more precise than Google™ Alerts?
Google Alerts use spider technology to try and discover instances where specific phrases or combinations of words are used. WebPartner WatchPoints are targeted by the user to prevent extraneous or unrelated information. Google Alerts, while useful, tend to be imprecise and may wind up sending unnecessary or unwanted information. For example, if you set a Google Alert to “Hurricane Tracking”, you get more than just weather and climate information. Your inbox would also be flooded with news about the Miami Hurricanes college football team and the Carolina Hurricanes professional hockey team.
WebPartner helps deliver all the information you want, but it comes sorted and filtered so that you save time and effort. With WatchPoints set at over appropriate places that best gather information about specific topics, you’ll only get what you’re specifically looking for.
Can I use Google Alerts and WebPartner together?
Yes, there is a great way to use WebPartner and Google Alerts together. When you see an interesting headline in your Google Alerts notification, you can review the article and decide whether to create a solo headline or perhaps you've found a new website on which to set a WatchPoint monitor to track future changes automatcially.
Is WebPartner the fastest way to get updates online?
Yes. WebPartner delivers the fastest updates because it actively monitors websites, images, and RSS feeds. There is no need to wait until a search engine such as Google or persistent search service such as Google Alerts rediscovers the new content.
