Huge Domains sells Knewz.com to News Corp

August 22, 2019 by Raymond Hackney

So News Corp is looking to start a news aggregation service that will be both a website and a mobile app. They say they are doing this to address concerns publishers have with regards to Google and Facebook.

The Wall Street Journal published an article

News Corp is developing a news-aggregation service meant to address concerns that Alphabet Inc.’s Google News and other digital platforms don’t reward publishers’ work adequately and play down articles from certain types of sites, according to people familiar with the plans.

Huge Domains looks to be the winner on the domain name as they have sold the domain which they caught back in 2012. It was a news aggregation site many years ago that was allowed to expire. The domain name moved to Mark Monitor.

    Nothing wrong with creating a news aggregation site. I’ve got one about crypto and money at Wallet.news I developed years ago. It will be hard for others to out pace Google’s news aggregation service though, because Google is the search engine those who are creating aggregators want to appear in. If people want to outpace Google, they’ll need to start by creating their own search engine, not just a news aggregation site. Just some thoughts.

      This may not hold true because news corp is a group of news network that already have lot of news with them and so they can easily create news aggregator and other popular platform are going to join them because of strict requirements by google

    We picked up NewsFirst.uk last month, news corp owns the .co.uk under the Mark Monitor banner and redirects to News.co.uk owned by News corp.
