How
can you get your daily dose of Web news without spending half the
day trying to find it?
One way: Create your own
website, or a personalize news page on Yahoo! or Excite.
Both portals let you customize
the day's headlines to get plenty of news about the Internet and
news in any area of interest you have. If you want to track a specific
publicly traded company, you can add its stock ticker to your page.
Click on the symbol, and you'll receive quotes and links to stories.
Then make it a 'favorite', or even have that be your start-up page
when you log on, and you'll get it all on one customized-for-you
page.
For setting up a personalized Yahoo! page go to http://www.yahoo.com
and click on "My" at the top of the page, and for Excite, go to http://www.excite.com
and click on 'New Members Sign up' on top of the page. Wonderful.
Time saving. I have a my.Yahoo page.

Company magazine, Jan-Feb issue, 2001)
