Coalesys Internet NewsWire

send tray messages to clients

Our Rating: (Good!)

Coalesys Internet NewsWire is a unique client/server tool that allows you to distribute news and announcements to users via an XP-style popup message from the system tray. In order to receive the message, the user must have the desktop client running, which you can configure and distribute. The news messages can be very easily designed and sent from a visual interface, that requires no technical knowledge. The program includes a web server, however it can be used with any existing web server, without the need to install anything. Unfortunately Internet NewsWire only offers poor documentation and support for distribution of the client, so while it works nicely, it can be a problem to distribute, unless you want to compile your own installer, write documentation etc. or only use it in a limited environment.
