The Wall Street Journal Online has launched new home page which includes AJAX powered "LiveNews" section that provides readers with automatic, constant updates to its home page. "LiveNews" was created by the Dow Jones Labs team, whose mission is to design and implement innovative technologies.
“our readers more easily find the news, features and tools that matter most to them,” said Bill Grueskin, managing editor, The Wall Street Journal Online. “Readers will still receive the type of news and information they demand, and at the same time will find the page easier to use and more visually appealing.”
The press release from Dow Jones Labs also adds that later this week, the site will begin updating the What’s News section of the home page dynamically as news is published — using AJAX technology — so the freshest news will always be displayed automatically without users having to refresh the page. Breaking-news headlines also will display dynamically in real time as they are published at the top of the What’s News section, again without users having to refresh the page. This new presentation of news, created by Dow Jones Labs, will be called “LiveNews.”
The Online Journal plans to roll out additional new features and enhancements to its news personalization and search capabilities in the weeks and months ahead as part of an increased focus on providing new, innovative ways of delivering the news to readers. The Company recently created Dow Jones Labs, a research-and-development unit, to help drive innovation among its Web sites, which in addition to the Online Journal includes MarketWatch and Barron’s Online.
The development of LiveNews by Dow Jones Labs is the latest in a series of market-leading innovations. Dow Jones Labs recently launched LiveQuotes on MarketWatch, which like WSJ.com is published by Dow Jones. LiveQuotes is an application of Ajax technology that automatically updates market information such as stock quotes.
