Silobreaker Brings a Graphical View to News Research

www.silobreaker.com

It is an interesting news and current affairs search engine and
provides relevance by analyzing at the data.

Breaking down the separate silos of information that exist in organizations and throughout industries is the reasoning behind the name Silobreaker.

The service has been made available for free now to gain traffic and also to showcase the technology.

Silobreaker, from the UK, aggregates and pulls current content from approximately 10,000
diverse sources (news, blogs, research, audio, video, shared/user generated and open access sources), provides analytics, and facilitates sharing of information.

It looks at data the way a person would, teasing out relationships and putting topics, companies and places in context. Its goal is to provide meaning, context, and insight to content using easily understood graphical tools.

Silobreaker offers several different ways to search and view content. Any page or visualization in Silobreaker can be filtered to narrow the search and improve relevance.

  • 360° Search gives a comprehensive view of all available content
  • Network Search displays real-time connections and relationships in a diagram that can be clicked, manipulated, and filtered
  • Hot Spots Search maps the news with geographical connections (the size of the spot indicates article volume, the darker color indicates more recent)
  • Trends Search shows media attention trends on a graph
  • My Page enables personalization of news monitoring and analysis
If you are a visual person like me, you will will be excited about SiloBreaker as you can manipulate the relationships on the entity map with the visualization tool (Which is simple to use).
