The growth of people-powered news and breaking news internet websites
There have been similar websites/concepts but these were based on older technologies, usually the mobile phone using MMS, they were never able to provide the comprehensive service that newer technology internet news sites now offer.
mobile phone technology
While mobile phones have been successful in delivering news and images, for example the Tsunami in Thailand, the mobile phone network is often unable to cope with the volume of traffic during such an event. The networks were overwhelmed with people trying to call friends or family members to see if they were safe.
Right after the London bombings, mobile phone networks couldn’t cope and the situation was made worse by people continually pushing to redial.
Telephone networks expect a certain volume of traffic based on the number of people who have subscribed to that network; The Internet works on a different principle, and therefore does not stop working efficiently during a time of increased communication.
breaking news
The speed at which breaking news reaches the internet cannot be bettered as it only takes a user/reporter a few minutes to submit news in 3 easy steps:-
1. Click to write and report news
2. Add videos, photos and tags
3. Sign in or register to submit
The coverage of a UK-based internet news website is usually:
- London and the South West
- North Ireland
- North
- north east
- northwest
- Scotland
- Welsh
- south west
- the midlands of england
- European and world coverage.
There may also be other tabs for travel news, entertainment, sports, business, politics, technology. New websites using content management systems like Drupal (used by the White House) can easily manage large amounts of information.
News from any country in the world can be put on the website just as easily and quickly as regional news, and the user can read the news that interests him at the click of a button.
This is in contrast to 24-hour news on television, where the viewer has to watch news that may not be relevant to them while waiting for the news that interests them. If you tune into the same 24 hour news channel 30 minutes later, you may notice that some of the news is in a sort of loop and you have to watch the same story again, even though you didn’t care the first time. around.
News 24 hours, the Ipad and mobile Internet devices
The Internet is now the best medium for the latest 24-hour news due to the increasingly widespread use of mobile Internet devices. Some examples are the Ipad, tablets, laptops and the latest generation of mobile phones with fast and efficient Internet access.
Today’s young professionals are increasingly using Internet news sites at home and at work. They can quickly zoom to news, business or travel items and then move on to the next item on their busy schedule.
Conclusion
When large numbers of consumers bought and used mobile phones in addition to their landlines or as an alternative to having a landline, it affected the way we communicate. It is expected that as large numbers of consumers purchase and use mobile internet devices in addition to, or as an alternative to, their ‘fixed line’ (broadband or network at work/university), there will be increased use of people highly successful news powered by 24 Breaking News Internet Sites.
