Factiva setting a scorching pace with Web 2.0 add-ins
' site review
Factiva has certainly stolen a lead on its rivals -- chief among them LexisNexis (www.lexisnexis.com) and Thomson Dialog (www.dialog.com) -- with its newly released Factiva 2.0 beta.
Some may sneer that Factiva is simply jumping on the Web 2.0 bandwagon, but with Google continuing to pile the pressure on with its own Web 2.0 personalisation features, it may well be the news services that fail to keep up in this race who will be sneered at later.
Web 2.0 is a generic term for online hosted applications and services that allow users to adapt their interface. In Factiva's case, this means being able to create a personalised homepage on the initial search screen that has RSS newsfeeds from your favourite news sources displayed alongside your Factiva alerts (created from individual search terms).
Factiva users will notice the Factiva Search 2.0 beta tab in the top left-hand corner of their screen when they log in. Click on the tab and you'll go to the new interface, which is initially populated with news feeds Factiva deems relevant to you. These news feeds come from 13 global regions, and their relevance is determined by the language used by the browser and the IP address of the user.
