Lebanon, NH (PRWEB) September 6, 2005 -- BFC Computing, a computer consulting firm based in Lebanon, NH, has launched KatrinaFloodNews.com, a website dedicated to news about the Katrina flood and Americas recovery. Every fifteen minutes, the site is updated with the latest headlines gathered from over 4500 news sources around the globe.
KatrinaFloodNews.com provides a single location for news readers to find updates on the latest happenings about the flood and Americas recovery. Rather than having to sift through other news sites to find information that may or may not be relevant, KatrinaFloodNews.com gathers all of that information into one place.
Bill McGonigle, owner of BFC Computing, says, KatrinaFloodNews.com is based on a technology weve been developing called NewsMaker, a tool for rapid deployment of specialized news websites. Its wasnt quite done, but after bouncing around several news sites looking for Katrina flood news items, I realized we needed to get NewsMaker out the door so people could have a single, dedicated place to look for flood-related news. This is one of the biggest events of our time and there are many people in need of up-to-the-minute information who have no time or interest reading stories about Iraq or tennis tournaments right now. For them, I hope this is helpful."
The Website is built on Open Source Software, a field of computing that is BFC Computings specialty. KatrinaFloodNews.com was rapidly developed utilizing Open Source technologies," says McGonigle. This effort would not have been possible without standing on the shoulders of these Open Source giants, and could never have sprung into life fast enough if it were built of proprietary pieces. For us, Open Source is a competitive advantage."
