How is this different from other news services?

releases, product announcements and other soft news, Street Pulse filters out critical news stories plus posts from the alternative media, which
other news services don't provide.

Why do some analysts have photos and bios while others do not?
We're in the midst of compiling photos and biographies for analysts and bloggers in the database. Did we miss your photo or bio? If so, go to your
analyst page and in the bio section click on "This is me" to submit your bio and/or photo or drop us a note at mydata@alacra.com
I'm an analyst but I don't see myself listed. Why not?
If you are an analyst but don't find yourself in Street Pulse, it's probably one of two things. Either we don't have you in our database yet or
we haven't found any news articles or blogs quoting you. To make sure we include you, drop us an email at mydata@alacra.com.

Why did you include this story? It's not about the company indicated.
Alacra Pulse uses semantic tagging to extract entities and events from text. While this tagging is highly accurate, it's not perfect and
sometimes the computer will misunderstand the gist of a sentence or story. Our semantic tagger is constantly being improved, so if you see
something we've tagged wrong, drop us a note at pulse@alacra.com and we'll incorporate your feedback into future updates.
I clicked through a link but the page was not found.
Different news sources keep their content on the web for various periods of time. In some cases, Alacra Pulse may still include a snippet of an
analyst comment for a document that is no longer available. In this case, we keep the snippet in the product, as we think being aware of the comment is
still valuable, even if the underlying document is no longer on the web.
Can I build portfolios to see only the companies which I track?
Alacra Pulse Professional, designed for corporate and enterprise users, has many additional features including portfolios, email alerts and more.
