Newssift
Sifting and winnowing through the web for high quality news sources, particularly those in business matters, can be an exhausting endeavor. Fortunately, the Financial Times has come up with Newssift, which can help persons who are looking for such information. First-time visitors may wish to start by clicking on the "Watch how Newssift works!" tab to get an interactive preview of how the site can best be used. A good way to describe the site is as a "business knowledge navigator" that may be utilized to answer questions such as "Is a company likely to fail relative to its main competitors?" or "Is a particular product pulling a company down?" Also, Newssift provides access to thousands of global business news sources, including news wires, television and radio, and expert commentary. The site also allows users to save their specialized searches and click on an interactive list of "Topics in the news", organized thematically into subsections that cover organizations, persons, and business topics.
