It seems that no matter how much information is offered online, people are hungry for more.
To illustrate, just look at all the online news services that pop up on the internet like herbs.
With a click of the mouse, you can instantly search thousands of news sources for specific and up-to-date information on almost any topic you choose.
Hell, if you're a true addict, you can even get the latest news via email right on your desktop!
Now I'm the first to say that nothing beats the old newspaper you hold in your hand.
Some calming things like a cup of coffee, a quiet morning, and today's newspaper await me. In fact, my day doesn't officially start until I go down the aisle to get my newspaper (sometimes under a bush).
However, as much as I love papers, they rarely contain stories on highly specialized subjects such as recent laws on email marketing, HTML parsing, and search advertising.
Of course, it doesn't make sense for almost every local newspaper to post news about the email marketing law (other than its impact on consumers) because market demand is not at that level.
However, thousands of people around the world want to see the news about the latest "spam" laws, and this is where online messaging services come in.
On this page you can find information about current world affairs and your favorite Spanish football team, to the regulations for animal identification in Argentina (no kidding) and the skyrocketing online auction market in mainland China.
News from around the world on almost any topic is literally waiting with just a few keystrokes and mouse clicks.
A very useful feature offered by many of these websites includes email notifications based on keyword search criteria.
So instead of paying for a cutting service to find the item and have it delivered to you, this website will do it for free.
So how can you use this type of intelligence service?
Imagine that you own shares in a certain company. You can subscribe to a number of different news services and they can send you the latest news about companies, CEOs, affiliates and whatever you choose.
Or let's assume you work in a very specific industry, for example in real estate investing publications.
You can sign up to receive notifications when there is news of changes in regulations, interest rates, or other factors affecting your business.
All of this online news, of course, does not honor the substitute for morning coffee, local and national news, and the essential rituals to start the day, but there is room, especially for highly specialized areas of interest, hobby or business news.
