Greeting everyone,

We are getting involved in launching BreakingNews.com - the site is currently in beta but I am curious as to what you think thus far and your ideas on how BreakingNews.com can be the destination site for BreakingNews.com

thanks,
Andrew

The easiest question is - what makes you think you can do a better job than sites like BBC and CNN?

Are you doing anything different to get breaking news from sources other than the commonly known ones?

Great domain name, but I agree with the post above. How can you compete with other more comprehensive and established news site?

Your website looks really good, especially the logo. It looks very professional and be sure that a lot of people will add it to their bookmarks! Well done!

BreakingNews.com

Thank you for your feedback thus far....our new design can be viewed at Untitled Document

This site will be different because it will become known as THE DESTINATION site for breaking news...we have the best SEO team working on it and the results thus far are extremely impressive...just on the small build out we've done thus far....

We also see A LOT of citizen journalism assisting here with the advent use of cell phones, video phones, etc. we can update news much quicker than a major broadcaster.....in addition, BreakingNews.com allows you to customize the way you see the news you want...

BreakingNews.com alerts are also being tested now so that you can be alerted about the news you care about and not be bothered with topics you have no interest in...

How does this sound so far? Any other ideas for BreakingNews.com ?

thanks
Andrew

News.com.au Top stories | News from Australia and around the world online | News.com.au

that is the website i use for Australian news, and international news.
i also use it for breaking news. One of Australia's most popular sites.

i don't care if i miss breaking news by 5,10, or 30 minutes as i'm probably going to see it on tv later that day...........

i think it would be different if i were EXPECTING a particular news front to happen...

eg, the sale of a company or the invention of cold fusion..haha..
or stock market collapse.....

Nice job. The second version is much better. I don't get my news from the Internet but do track subjects I'm interested in. Just keep the animated flash advertisements turned off and I'll use it.

I just found this new site from msnbc right her

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/

This site is totally interactive and customizable. This is the future of news sites. How can you get customers to your site and not something like this?
