PointCast Unveils .PlanCast![]() ".PlanCast guarantees that Quakers won't miss out on the latest Quake news, such as Hipnotic/ION foozball stats, American McGee's bizarre surfing preferences, and whether Tom Hall wore matching socks today," said Joe Harrison, PR spokesperson for PointCast. "Sure, you could easily get the same information from Quakefinger, but why exert so much effort clicking on hyperlinks?" Currently, retrieving the finger information using .PlanCast takes three hours, as opposed to less than five seconds with Quakefinger or other finger servers. And like PointCast, .PlanCast also congests the Internet an additional 45%. Still, Harrison insists that the overwhelming burden of push technology on the Net is a good thing: "By slowing everything down to a crawl, push technology forces you to surf longer, giving you more bang-for-the-buck with your $20-a-month ISP subscription. You should thank us!" |
