FAQ: Is BUTTER a content aggregator?

No, because BUTTER does a lot more than just aggregate content. BUTTER gathers content from vetted sources in real time, including patents, trademarks, industry reports, company announcements, and peer-reviewed research. However, NewsRx also publishes its own original content—short articles that provide a thorough summary of the most important information for each piece of content.

FAQ: Is NewsRx a content curator?

No, because BUTTER doesn’t just host content from other sources. It also has its own original content—short articles that provide a thorough summary of the most important information in each piece of aggregated content. So the content on BUTTER is actually our own original content.

FAQ: Is BUTTER a media monitoring platform?

No. Media monitoring platforms provide alerts on the latest print, TV, and radio news, as well as press releases and social media updates. Meanwhile BUTTER alerts focus on emerging research, patents, trademarks, and SEC filings. Though both BUTTER and media monitoring platforms keep their users informed of the latest developments within an industry by tracking relevant information as it emerges, BUTTER provides more than just monitoring: it uses sophisticated artificial intelligence that writes original articles and newsletters. So the content available on our site is our own content, not just content from other sources.
