Product Description
'NewsRack allows users to specify taxonomy and gather news and classify selected news items into the taxonomy. This is done by specifying news filters – somewhat similar to email filters. By implicitly making gathered news public, NewsRack benefits a much wider audience than the narrow user base that has written filters on NewsRack.

Monitoring relevant news for any social organisation is a time-consuming and laborious process, especially when the news is monitored, marked, cut, and filed using hard copies of newspapers and magazines. However, much of this work can be automated using web versions of newspapers and magazines. NewsRack is a tool/service for classifying, filing, and long-term archiving of news. NewsRack takes input news feeds and generates a set of categorized news feeds based on filtering rules that the contributor specify. One can use these output news feeds in their favourite news aggregator, or can let NewsRack organize this information.
