NewsTwits from Newstex – Authoritative Twitter Updates and Twitter Search Made Easy
Twitter is by far the fastest growing social Web site in history, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Everyday, people are tweeting about companies, brands and products. The problem is that there is no perfect way to search Twitter for this kind of information.

It’s an exciting day for Newstex, our distributors, and our publishers. Today, Newstex announced the official launch of our new Video On Demand product.

Newstex Launches NewsTwits -Twitter-Based Newsfeed
We use Twitter at Newstex and have noticed over the past four months a surge of activity on Twitter by many of the same bloggers whose blogs we syndicate. Many of the "tweets" have become news, in some cases breaking news before it is posted to a blog. The limit of 140 characters makes for short headline oriented posting and the feel of an old fashion "newswire".
Similar to our Blogs On Demand newsfeed, we have licensed "tweets" from Twitter authors and are grouping the "tweets" into useful real time newsfeeds – we call our product "Newstwits".

Today, in partnership with MuseGlobal, we announced BlogAlertsâ„¢, a new product that delivers blog content to information providers and enterprise customers beyond our Blogs On Demand full text product.
