Pluck's browser companion application will incorporate Moreover technology into a series of personalized news resources for all of its customers. These new capabilities include: -- Aggregated RSS news feeds included as part of the application's default configuration. As opposed to RSS feeds with content from a single site, Moreover feeds deliver a more complete view into breaking news as they are based on topic-specific categories composed of articles aggregated from thousands of the most relevant and reliable online sources. -- A custom RSS feed builder will enable Pluck users to create and save RSS news feeds that are personalized to their specific news requirements. -- News search and Pearch -- "persistent search" -- functionality to allow users to quickly find relevant news and save queries as continually executing news searches that alert users when new articles appear.
