Actually, I'd be interested in finding out more about intelligent agents that
are out there. I rely mostly on use of NewsAlert at http://www.newsalert.com.
They archive pretty much all of the news wires out there except AP and
Reuters.
I also rely heavily on daily e-mails from PR Newswire and BusinessWire as well
as personal e-mails from corporate PR Specialists/Coordinators every time a
news item is relased. 

Unfortunately, I still haen't found any place that will give me more current
news for free. I'd love to get wire releases the same time they go up on the
wire. Or find an intelligent agent I can train to hunt this stuff down.

Anyone have any ideas?
