Inside Secure Appoints EVP for NFC & Secure Payments Division


We create and build industry-related "breaking news" websites. Our "NewsBots" search for breaking news on keywords relating to your industry. Any vertical, any niche, any subject and we can build it for you.

Example: Take a look at the "Breaking News Site" we built for the NBA's Miami Heat. NBANewsHeat.com   Our NewsBots look for keywords (Lebron James, Dywane Wade, Chris Bosh, etc.) Once the breaking news story is found, it sends it to our server, which transforms it into a Post containing the title, a photo, author credit, 25 word blurb and a direct link to the original content provider. Better than the Drudge Report, and not limited to the political arena.
