Release Body: New Delhi, India November 6, 2008 Trackthisnow.com
is a unique website that tracks news articles on any topic across
the world in real time. The service at the moment tracks 236 countries
world wide and presents it on a view of the world map. Using the
service is simple. You can enter a keyword and trackthisnow.com
will track a graphical representation of where news stories on
your chosen topic are appearing, overlayed onto a world map. You
can then click on the countries on the map to see the news from
them. Tracking happensat the click of a button without the need
for the user to login or go through any other formalities and
delays.
"The
novelty of this site is the topic specific global search that
it launches with instant results, rendered in a crisp format for
a quick and easy view.” Says Gauri Narayan,
Co-Founder of trackthisnow.com.
Right
now, the service tracks news in every country in the world but
plans are on to enable tracking at the city level as well. The
site uses web 2.0 to find news from different countries and uses
Google Maps for plotting the coverage. The software is currently
tracking in access of over …??……... publications
across 236 countries. This number is expected to rise in the next
development phase of the website in December 2008.
Here
is what some of the initial users of trackthisnow.com have to
