Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape have the ability now to
"pull" news, changes to web sites, and the like based on keywords and
filters. You could establish a workstation that polls the internet and
then places the relevant information into the pages of an intranet site
for your marketing team. Take a look at some of the information on Yogesh
Malhotra's site http://www.brint.com

Visit his W3 Virtual Library pages on "knowledge management" and you'll
see some good ideas for handling this type of an effort.
