So News Corp is looking to start a news aggregation service that will be both a website and a mobile app. They say they are doing this to address concerns publishers have with regards to Google and Facebook.
The Wall Street Journal published an article
News Corp is developing a news-aggregation service meant to address concerns that Alphabet Inc.’s Google News and other digital platforms don’t reward publishers’ work adequately and play down articles from certain types of sites, according to people familiar with the plans.
Huge Domains looks to be the winner on the domain name as they have sold the domain which they caught back in 2012. It was a news aggregation site many years ago that was allowed to expire. The domain name moved to Mark Monitor.
Winner, how it’s a low 4 figure bin ?
More money to bid up people at godaddy bidder 91932!!!
Looks like it was priced at $2k on their site a few years back.. good deal for news corp.
Nothing wrong with creating a news aggregation site. I’ve got one about crypto and money at Wallet.news I developed years ago. It will be hard for others to out pace Google’s news aggregation service though, because Google is the search engine those who are creating aggregators want to appear in. If people want to outpace Google, they’ll need to start by creating their own search engine, not just a news aggregation site. Just some thoughts.
This may not hold true because news corp is a group of news network that already have lot of news with them and so they can easily create news aggregator and other popular platform are going to join them because of strict requirements by google
We picked up NewsFirst.uk last month, news corp owns the .co.uk under the Mark Monitor banner and redirects to News.co.uk owned by News corp.
Lucky us
