We have noted PC World Web site is slower than it used to and provides some of its content in a slide show format now, as far as their news go, which is something that could be irritating. We have addressed the issue and we will lower the prirority towards that site for news monitoring based on a few isolated factors like that. The news, however, has its place. PC World used to, and probably still provides/releases benchmarks and things like that on a regular basis. We find it could have some point of interest for some members. News could be any kind of content, such as a press release, a new version of a software, a technical article, a comparism between several software and so on. We use this terminology here as a general term in its context.
