The former is valued for is pricing tools such as derivative formulas etc and quality of exchange data feeds among many other features. They are used heavily in bank and industrial environments besides just pure trading desks. Since I don't know the details about this service, all I can say is if they want to target hedge traders they better offer extensive customization capability and a deep api. The most likley usage for such a service would be just a simple integration into existing news feeds, or as a data point (input) to a neural net system. And I would not weight it's value very heavily either, as I do not agree that their "information dissemination cycle" is always correct, particularly in the realm of securities. Not to mention there are many other factors which are more important to monitor. I find it alarming that they use a discussion forum on the internet as an example of a source for a pre-stock move. Such information can be easily manipulated. That being said, it will be interesting to see what they put out, and it may be an interesting tool just to track industries or sectors.

These traders, or any traders in fact, thrive on the speed of new and relevant news. So I think the Monitor110 is a great idea, but only for now. I feel like it's an enhanced Google News product where i've created my own custom news categories using search terms and read results in my RSS reader. I think Monitor110 is benefitting on the fact that not a lot of people know what RSS is. I believe the PEW Internet Research Group said something like 1 in 5 or 1 in 4 individuals know what RSS is.
