You can find the PC Magazine article online at
http://www.pcmag.com/issues/1507/pcmg0072.htm
A note on that article: since they researched and printed the article,
there have been at least three services (that I know of) which were
launched... It's one of the fastest growing areas for companies
in the information arena.
There was also an article in Internet Week in March, I believe,
which covers several services as well. A reader of the list posted
the address, but the article isn't posted on the net (the last
time I checked...)
We're still trying to get press: our service, aimed at corporate
clients, doesn't garner the attention from the personal computer/
consumer publications since it's not aimed at individuals :-(
On the other hand, we've got much higher margins than the slew
of competitors out there selling individual subscriptions.
(Much the same model as a consumer vs. highly vertical magazine
or newsletter.. Lots of subscriptions+advertising=low price or low
circulation+depth of content=higher price.) We've opted to
partner for the low end/consumer based custom news because
of that (Ziff Davis Personal View)...
