JournalStar.com Desktop Alerts:

The Lincoln Journal Star Desktop Alert Application is a FREE small, simple application which you can download and install on your Windows-based personal computer. (Currently not available to Unix or Mac users.) The LJS Alerts system provides you with live national alerts, local news and weather right from your desktop.

Once installed and connected to the Internet, you will receive current regional and local news, local and national weather, national alerts and severe weather warnings.. The application can either run fully open on your desktop or as a minimized application – showing the current temperature – in your system tray. The system will sit idle in a personal computer until an alert is issued. When an emergency is declared, it will sound a warning through the PC, followed by a pop-up screen explaining the type of emergency. The user can reduce the screen after receiving the alert, but updated information will scroll across the bottom of the screen.

The LJS Alerts system provides you with these features in a real-time basis. Complete our sign up form and download your LJS Alerts application right now!
