CNN Newswatch brings push back...Pointcast anyone?

I'm trying out a trial of CNN Newswatch (also available for the LA Times and a few other publications) that seems to bring back memories of Pointcast (although I never used it...so I'm not completely sure how similar these two are). Pointcast if you remember almost got sold for billions but the founders wanted a bigger payback...and then it imploded as corporations started blocking its push services as bandwidth got clogged up. This is kinda cool and brings a ticker tape like newsfeed to your desktop.
