More details about our desktop news alert service

Look and feel

Either coupled with an animated character or standalone, our desktop agents can display news alerts in a variety of ways:

Minimised

Minimised to the desktop, alerts can appear as small clickable popups, or the agent can show a scrolling news ticker or a complete summary of the current news stories.

Getting a message

When a message appears

popup

A reminder pops up, and this can be clicked on to reveal the story, or ignored until later

Click on the popup and the story is shown, either in ticker form

ticker

Or as a summary box

Maximised

Both the ticker and the summary box display the story headlines as web links, so that the full story can be reached with a single mouse click

Sending a message

We provide you with access to a web based control panel which makes managing content a cinch.

Targeting your customers

If required, customers can select which kinds of stories they want to receive from an options dialog box, and can also extend the usefulness of the DNA system by adding additional news feeds of their own. As the DNAs conform to the standard RSS specification, there are tens of thousands of feeds available on the web.
