X1 and Newsgator Venture Into RSS
October 11, 2011
In a new angle for search vendors, X1, a productivity enhancement and information management software tools company, partners with Newsgator, developer of content aggregator solutions, to bring search to aggregated RSS (really simple syndication) news and information. “X1 and NewsGator
Partner to Provide Instant Search Capabilities of Aggregated RSS News and
Information,” tells more.
The fast-as-you-can-type search capabilities of X1™ Search, which lets users find the content of email, files, attachments, and contacts, has been coupled with NewsGator’s ability to deliver news and information directly into Microsoft Outlook to give customers a simple, integrated solution for obtaining and finding information.
Our experience is that news archives are not particularly deep, so regardless of search engine, much time sensitive content disappears or gets a “buy this story” link banner. The concept is interesting and might be useful for very short-term access. However, other solutions must be used to ensure long-term archiving.
