What is a 'Topic'?:    MyReader.net enables you to create topics which automatically organize information regardless of where or what that information is.
  • A 'Topic' is a process that automatically
    • gets new information that is relevant to the Topic whenever that information becomes available
    • organizes information the way you need it organized
  • A Topic can contain; emails, newsgroup posts, pictures, videos, stock prices, etc., all at the same time.
  • The same information can be in one or more topics at the same time
  • If you change or delete a Topic, the actual information the Topic organized is not either changed or deleted
  • Also, changing or deleting one Topic does not alter the use of that information in other Topics
  • You can also use subsets of a Topic without actually changing the Topic
  • Topics can have sub-topics. For example, a topic of 'Projects' could have sub-topics
    • By Project
      • Fences
      • Driveways
      • Painting
    • By Employee
      • Tom
      • Dick
      • Harry
    • By Materials needed
      • Cement
      • Lumber
      • Paint
