Vicito: Get Peronalised News in your Chat Program

Added: 31 Jan, 2008 (1,069 Views)

Vicito delivers latest topically-filtered news to your instant messenger. Simply add relevant Vicito ID to your IM buddy list and tell it (1) what keywords you want it to track, (2) how frequently it should check for latest news and (3) the max. number of stories for each update. While I am not really fond of the idea of getting news to my chat client, the option to filter news by keywords makes it rather compelling.
