Dialog NewsEdge Adds Live News Alerts and More Sources

Dialog NewsEdge now offers Live News Alerts. With the Live News Alerts functionality, you can define which companies you want to track and the subjects you want to monitor, using personal Alert profiles. These Alert profiles are continuously monitored throughout the day. When breaking news occurs, you are notified within seconds of an article matching your personal news Alerts. Headlines of interest can be clicked to return the entire story or news item. Live News Alerts lets you open applications in a separate window and adjust the size of the window to the size you require, allowing you to monitor breaking news independently from the Dialog NewsEdge product interface while engaging in other necessary work applications.

Live News Alerts can help ensure marketing, competitive intelligence, public relations, investor relations, post-marketing surveillance and management executives never miss an event that is critical to their job success. You can track events as they happen: view competitor announcements, monitor breaking news events, stay advised of earnings announcements and keep an eye on the market's perception of your own products and services.

Additional key features of Dialog NewsEdge Live News Alerts include:

• An integrated Web-based offering (requires installation of the Java Runtime Environment browser plugin)
  
  
• Hundreds of premium (cover-to-cover) business sources also available for Live News Alerts at an additional cost
  
  
• All content indexed with the Dialog SmartTerms classification system
  
  
• Alert history archive retrieved for up to one week
