Push web server is a network software that can "push" information to clients so clients can read this information without browsing on the net. It is a new technology that can deliver the information to client computers directly. It can save time of searching and network bandwidth.
 
    Pointcast is a push web network. It can broadcast news to clients up-to-the-minute, and it enables enterprise intranet to broadcast information to its employee as soon as possible. After pointcast network is installed, it will replace your screen saver with the latest headline news as your choice:

    1. You don't want to spend a lot of time on the internet to find  the news that you want.
    2. Internet information can be broadcast to other computers by push web server.
    3. It totally free. Cost is covered by its advertiser.
    4. You can choose the information you want from a lot of news service.
