FreePint Report: Review of The Big Free Three for News
Jinfo Report
25th September 2012
Abstract
Bing News, Google News and Yahoo! News are three familiar, free search tools which aggregate news content from a wide variety of web sources. They cover content from many of the same sources - yet each has its own unique strengths and drawbacks. This special review of the "big free three" looks at sources, search options, outputs, alerts and mobile access - as well as important information to know about the terms and conditions of the usage of the content.
