preciseNews® is the only real-time online news aggregation service that is dedicated to breaking news and colorful commentary every few minutes (24/7) - other so-called "real-time" services use increasingly established links or other user supplied data to prioritize presentation of news that's already happened and hindering your ability to receive the truly best and latest breaking news, information and opinion pieces every few minutes (24/7). [U.S. PATENTS PENDING]
We hope that users will find this experience fun, colorful and dynamic.
For the latest information, please see the Administration Page.
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up with your favorite breaking news and colorful
commentary. An RSS news feed contains selected headlines and links to
breaking news stories served through the preciseNews.us web sites. Each preciseNews® web page provides
links to content provided within our news feeds. You can either view the headlines through an RSS news reader or
(preferably) use the advanced interactive web page features provided on this web site (as you're now doing!).
2. Do I need a special RSS Reader to use preciseNews®?[Top]
No. You can integrate preciseNews® services including feeds and widgets using the Subscribe links
at the bottom of each news page. By using the preciseNews®
site, however, you are able to take advantage of its other advanced "Web 2.0" features. The "Get Widget" buttons next to each preciseNews® component may also be used to render a preciseNews® Widget that appears and functions similar to each such component a "Get Widget" button is next to for a "Plug-n-Play Web Experience™".
3. What Internet Web Browsers can use preciseNews®?[Top]
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox and other popular Internet Web Browsers. (e-mail may not be supported in all browsers - for more information please see FAQ 14 below).
You must have JavaScript enabled in your browser to use preciseNews®. Please see Help with JavaScript.
5. Why does my popup blocker sometimes block Tools links?[Top]
JavaScript Window operations may sometimes be blocked by certain (particularly older) Popup Blockers. If Tools links do not seem to work when you click on them, please check to see if you have Popups enabled in your
browser (Tools->Internet Options->Privacy page in Internet Explorer). Oftentimes this is as simple as looking for the (frequently blue) Information Bar that will appear at the top of the browser
window after clicking on the link.
Since popups are irritating, preciseNews®
does NOT employ such advertising. Thus you can also enable display of popups (or disable any popup blocker) for this site (only) without fear of intrusion (please consult the Privacy
page for further information).
Articles are selected dynamically from across the web through a real-time editing process using custom procedures and cutting edge technologies embodied within the preciseNews® systems. These unique methodologies ensure users consistently receive the best and latest breaking news, information and opinion pieces by delivering real news from currently featured sources in real time.
7. What does it mean when a news article is stamped [*New!*] ?[Top]
News articles that have recently been published or updated within the past 20 minutes (or so) are marked [*New!*] for ready identification.
We currently do not facilitate "login" per-se - meaning the capability is there and essential for contributing editors and others maintaining the site to access things - but is not required to use any preciseNews® site(s) and services.

The Active Rankings displayed on preciseNews® pages are the latest statistics gathered through Technorati. The 72 hour (3 day) window pinpoints what's
been hot during that period. The counts shown reflect the inbound site traffic from all weblogs and other world wide web
site data links, respectively.
17. What does the text in "Tag Clouds" represent?[Top]
The preciseNews® Tag Clouds (right hand pane of news pages) are populated with data collected from the preciseNews®
servers. Each of the terms presented reflects a sampling of content contained within articles featured on the site. The frequency of common terms is
weighted to the top of the list and relative text font size may illustrate each term's proportional representation. When you
click an entry from within the cloud you will be presented with a list of articles that contain the term you selected.
A "contextual search" is like using a normal internet search engine except it automatically uses information from each individual list entry to return relevant search results. Simply use the search icons that accompany list entries or click on any word therein to perform a search.
21. What are the valid Search Terms for "Open Search"?[Top]
"Open Search" is a new industry standard facilitating the next generation of Internet search technologies. preciseNews® now supports two variations of OpenSearch - "preciseNews OpenSearch" for Breaking News Feed queries and (for most internet users) the preciseSearch Mozilla Firefox and IE 7 Browser Plugins.
The preciseSearch Mozilla Firefox and IE 7 Browser Plugins provide supported browser access to the preciseSearch™ Breaking News Google Custom Search Engine and the preciseNews® Traditional Search Engine:
Supported search terms for "preciseNews OpenSearch" are synonymous with each of the corresponding services on the preciseNews.us web site ("news", "daily", "opinion", "blogs", "business", "technology", "sports" and "entertainment").
