IDG's InfoWorld Media Group Incorporates Feedster Syndicated Feeds into Their New IT Product Guide
San Francisco, CA, September 29, 2004 -- IDG's InfoWorld Media Group, the premier enterprise IT print and online magazine, and Feedster Inc. the first company to utilize RSS and weblog content to enhance broad Internet search, have announced a partnership to incorporate Feedster syndicated feeds in the IT Product Guide on InfoWorld.com.
Infoworld’s IT Product Guide delivers an unbiased, independent, and critical look at technology-focused products and services for IT buyers. The IT Product Guide on InfoWorld.com provides more than 230 in-depth InfoWorld Test Center reviews, specifications, user/buyer reviews, related articles, company data, and buying information for enterprise and business-grade IT products. Readers can also assess competitive offerings and read more about the products from their peers in the blogosphere by viewing the section of the Product Guide labeled “weblogs and feeds”. It's the ultimate IT product research and decision tool.
"This strategic initiative allows our readers to not only access product information and reviews, but also hear what their peers are saying about a specific product." says Kevin McKean, CEO and editorial director of InfoWorld. "IT decision makers and buyers increasingly turn to the Web for credible, tested product evaluation. This new site serves as the quintessential tool for the enterprise market, as well as the de-facto destination for anyone making strategic buying decisions."
“Both Feedster and Infoworld apply leading edge methods to bring users relevant and timely information and commentary,” said Scott Rafer, CEO of Feedster. “It makes sense to offer users the next-generation power of RSS and the rapidly growing content from the universe of weblogs.”
The brainchild for the Product Guide stems from the InfoWorld Test Center, renowned for its 15 years of objective and in-depth testing of enterprise technology products and services. By extending the InfoWorld Test Center reviews to the Product Guide, IT professionals can now access a one-stop resource that allows them to view Test Center reviews, search for specific products, read user reviews and news articles, and get direct purchasing information all in one place.
