Lebanon, NH (PRWEB) September 7, 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 America’s 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 America’s 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 we’ve been
developing called NewsMaker, a tool for rapid deployment of specialized news
websites. It’s wasn’t 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 Computing’s 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.”
