New News search tool does the math -

Internet Daily: News tool By Frank Barnako, MarketWatch: "Does the Web need an industrial-strength news search engine? Neal Goldman of Inform Technologies thinks it does and rolled one out Monday morning. Although he concedes Inform.com still needs usability and development work, Goldman said the goal is to help visitors create their own newspaper with stories selected from thousands of news sources...

Goldman expects Inform.com to appeal to news junkies, "people who feel the pain of the problem" of too many sources and too little organization. He expects his initial market will be public relations professionals, journalists, and people in finance and politics.

Eventually, the site will carry advertising, and Goldman expects to offer paid services by the end of the year to watch what people are reading and suggest related stories."
