Start Page for Finance Junkies: InfoNGEN
Filed in archive Tools on July 26, 2007
From VentureBeat comes word of a (fairly) new service for those who can't get enough of finance. It's a site called InfoNGEN, which I assume you would say as "Info Engine."
Infongen (I can't keep capitalizing all those letters; why are they capitalized in the first place?) lets you create a personal start page of financial news by pulling feeds from hundreds of major financial news sources and putting the headlines on a single Web page. If you go to their home page, you'll a potential start page with blocks of news headlines under headers such as "In the News", "Key Results", "IPO News" and more. You can customize the page to fit your preferred types of news, whether it's tracking of certain companies or industries or the latest mergers or whatever else interests you.
What's interesting to me is that InfoNgen tags the stories from the many News Feeds it gets and then sort of sends them to the appropriate boxes, so it's not the same as just getting news headlines from CNBC and MarketWatch or whatever and then scanning them for news of interest. Instead, InfoNgen is trying to decide where a story fits and then decide if you need to see it or not based on your preferences. InfoNgen attempts to do the filtering so you don't have to.
It's an interesting idea, especially if you're a financial pro or an investing junkie. It's free to use, although if you are a hardcore corporate user you can pay for enhanced features. Give it a look.
