-- Trackthisnow.com is a unique website that tracks news articles on any
topic across the world in real time. The service at the moment tracks 236
countries world wide and presents it on a view of the world map. Using the
service is simple. You can enter a keyword and
http://trackthisnow.com will
track a graphical representation of where news stories on your chosen topic
are appearing, overlayed onto a world map. You can then click on the
countries on the map to see the news from them. Tracking happens at the
click of a button without the need for the user to login or go through any
other formalities and delays.

"The novelty of this site is the topic specific global search that it
launches with instant results, rendered in a crisp format for a quick and
easy view." Says Gauri Narayan, Co-Founder of trackthisnow.com.
Right now, the service tracks news in every country in the world but
plans are on to enable tracking at the city level as well. The site uses web
2.0 to find news from different countries and uses Google Maps for plotting
the coverage. The software is currently tracking in access of over 8000
publications across 236 countries. This number is expected to rise in the
next development phase of the website in December 2008.
Here is what some of the initial users of trackthisnow.com have to say
