NewsNow is a news aggregator service that was launched in 1997 with fewer than ten articles, it now links to thousands of publications including top news providers. NewsNow provides a service in which breaking news articles are matched against key-word topic specifications, the relevant links and publishers are then delivered to the user. Other than Newsnow's main website which is freely accessible to private users, the company provides customised news feeds for corporate subscribers. The site also offers access via mobile devices, and offers a version tailored for the Opera Mini application.

Interface

NewsNow uses a search function and a list of, colour coded, pre-built topics to allow users to find desired content. The site also provides the option to search related topics to articles users have already read, and saves up to 10 most viewed newsfeeds. The site also offers a full-text searching service to subscribers (non-subscribers are limited to headline searches for words or phrases). News articles clicked on by users are displayed in a pop out window. If the user enters a particular category NewsNow gathers as many articles as possible on the category and then displays them in chronological order. Beside each news line, there is an icon of the flag to represent the nationality of the news, which tells the reader at a glance, to which part of the globe the news belongs to.
