In an attempt to help users sift through the enormous
amount of information found on the Web, American
Information Systems (AIS) and New York e-mail marketerNetCreations have developed a new
Web-based search utility.
NetSearch is a Web site designed to
dispatch news, product announcements and general information on a variety
of topics. The service automatically e-mails subscribers detailed
information on topics including business,entertainment, music, finance and
other professions. They can also choose to
receive data from “The Big List” which features nearly 1,000 special
interest categories.
“According to a recent Ziff-Davis study, 79 percent of Net users over 18
used the Web to obtain information about products and
services,” said Joshua Schneider, vice president of research and
development at AIS, a Chicago-based Internet consulting service.
“At the same time, people find researching frustrating because the Web
isn’t very well organized and isolating relevant data is challenging for even
the most experienced user. NetSearch provides a valuable service that
addresses this problem–at no cost to the end-user.”
