DAILYME LAUNCHES PUBLIC BETA OF ITS CUSTOMIZED NEWS PLATFORM
Users Choose the Types of News They Want, Delivery Method – Web, Email, Automated Printing – and Time of Publication
Draws from Thousands of Professional News Sources, User-Generated Content
HOLLYWOOD, FL., October 9, 2007
–
DailyMe
(http://dailyme.com), a news platform and community that allows
consumers to personalize their news and receive it on their own
schedule and through their preferred delivery formats, today
announced the launch of its public Beta period, which for the first
time makes the service available to the general public.
Different
than other online news sources, DailyMe literally builds a
personalized news digest for each reader based on his or her own
personal preferences, using choices of news categories, keywords, individual news sources, and
pre-configured profiles developed by both the editorial team and
DailyMe users. Each user's edition of DailyMe is drawn from a
combination of thousands of licensed, professional news sources as
well as user-generated content. Further, each user can choose to have DailyMe delivered via the web,
sent via email or automatically output from their personal computer
printer at a specified time of day.
Many news aggregators
today pull together summaries of individual news stories, but to read
an entire story users are forced to leave the aggregator's site and
travel to the content provider's, leaving them to come back on their
own. DailyMe solves this navigation dilemma. DailyMe
users can read each story completely within the DailyMe platform,
where a variety of community features also can be accessed.
"When
we began working on DailyMe, our goal was to combine the best of
online and print media. Each, we felt, had its strengths, but
nobody had yet brought the two together to their greatest advantage.
Until now. With DailyMe, each individual can choose the news
that interests them most and have it delivered fresh at a specific
time via their preferred format. Want to read about
international news every morning at 9 on the web? Done.
Interested in the latest sports news via email every night at 10?
DailyMe can do that, too. Our Beta is open to the public
starting today, so I encourage everyone interested in news to come by
and give DailyMe a try," said Eduardo Hauser, DailyMe's founder
and CEO.
DailyMe is a free, advertising supported service.
Anyone who wishes to customize their news experience with DailyMe
need only travel to the DailyMe site and create an account, a simple
process that takes just a few minutes.
DailyMe's
innovative features:
Individuals choose their own content via a combination of news categories, keywords, individual sources and profiles (both community-generated and from the DailyMe editorial team).
Users select when they'd like their DailyMe published and delivered, with content assembled fresh at that time.
DailyMe readers pick their own delivery method, choosing from an elegant web interface, email, or an automated printing application that outputs DailyMe on a computer printer automatically at the assigned time.
Users never have to leave DailyMe to read stories in their entirety. No links to outside sites. Since DailyMe licenses its own content, it can be consumed entirely within DailyMe.
Members of the DailyMe community can share their news profiles with others and interact with fellow DailyMe readers via blogging, voting and comments.
