Nexcerpt: A Different Type of News Alert Service.

By Robert Berkman, Editor
Publication: The Information Advisor
Date: Monday, March 1 2004

We recently came across a very intriguing news alert service called Nexcerpt (www.nexcerpt.com) that operates quite a bit differently than the ones we recently reviewed in our two-part series on alert services. While not perfect, and a little pricey compared to others, we feel that its unique features and its intelligent design make it an ideal niche product for information professionals. It would be particularly appealing if you manage a centralized information center and want to increase your visibility and value to the rest of your organization.
