About Us

TriggerNews^® is a premium, low-cost subscription news service developed and offered by News Technologies LLC.

TriggerNews was originally conceived as a ground-breaking stock trader's tool, but over time it also evolved into an instant information product to service the knowledge needs of corporations or individuals who want to obtain real-time breaking news on companies, products, industries or important worldwide events.

TriggerNews instantly delivers targeted real-time news to subscribers based on their own user-defined "triggers".  A trigger can be a company name, stock symbol and/or ANY key word or phrase a user desires. Only news releases identically matching the trigger will cause a news alert. Alerts come in the form of a popup window, which means users do not need to periodically review web sites, closely monitor streaming news or open up email alerts they may receive. Users can be going about their normal routine and subsequently be instantly informed of breaking news the moment it happens. The process is entirely automatic. They are alerted only when a breaking story based on their own personal trigger activates an alert.

Relative to companies, users will receive key news alerts on events such as earnings announcements, new products, major contract awards, government regulatory approvals (e.g., FDA, patent, etc.), acquisitions, stock splits, law suits, credit changes, etc.

From a general worldwide news perspective, users entering triggers such as "Iraq" or "Korea" or "terrorist", will receive 24/7 alerts as stories on them are issued by Associated Press. These are breaking news alerts that are immediately transmitted to users. There is no additional editorializing, meaning the user receives them as quickly as all the major news outlets.

Even a worldwide breaking news event can have major impact. Consider examples like a devastating earthquake hitting Silicon Valley or war breaking out in Korea. Getting news like that within seconds of it being reported can lead to dramatic results or important decisions.

TriggerNews was conceptualized in early 2001. The founders realized that there were many on-line ways to receive news, but none that allowed users to receive instant news only on their own personally-defined parameters.

News Technologies was therefore founded on the principle of providing decision-making information to the general public about companies or worldwide breaking news in the fastest manner possible. Our goal is to deliver real-time news or news releases within 5 seconds of it hitting the wire regardless of the number of connected users, thereby making it generally available to our subscribers at the same time it is available to all major news channels and professional trading firms. The process is greatly enhanced through the application of user-defined "triggers" to route only selective news to the subscriber.

A considerable amount of time and resources went into the development of our unique technology. Several patents were filed and are currently awaiting approval from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Additionally, we develop key relationships with content partners to supply you with only the most effective and helpful information possible, thereby decreasing unwanted information (sometimes referred to as Info Glut). Content providers must meet our rigid selection process so that only the highest quality alerts are directed to you.
