Verticalnews

Vertical, in the case of this website and the commonly-seen term "vertical market" means, as you might imagine, something firm and erect, with only one thing in mind, as opposed to a less focused, more horizontal, general-purpose arrangement. So a vertical market is a market in one product or field, only, and in this case, vertical news is a huge database from which you can select as much news and information as you like, a single topic at a time, without having to read about subjects in which you have no interest. Aside from hefty weekly newsletters, the company will also give you access to up to thirteen years of archives for any given subject, for a very reasonable personal subscription of around $40 a year. You can of course pick more subjects and get the same service, at the same price, for each. If you're a corporate user, which is of course considerably more costly, you get much more, including the ability to access a predefined and customized database which limits your employees to only certain information areas. The database includes news sourced from many different areas, including not just the internet, but company press releases and other databases, news wires and journals. And articles, which are limited to around 500 words, are intended to be concise and deliver the information you need in the most efficient manner. If you're in business, or simply want to keep abreast of what's happening in the business world but only in one topic area, such as computer peripherals, or something still vertical but somewhat thicker, such as the subject of China as a whole, I imagine this is a must-visit site. Whilst you'll need to subscribe to see any subject in depth and access the archives, there's still breaking news in all areas to read, for free, so you have a chance to decide whether the style and content is what you're looking for.
