News Aggregatoren findet man im Netz zu Hauf. Eben diese vorrangig fuer mich nicht wirklich relevant in ihrer Nutzung.

In dieser Woche ersah ich via Doc Searls Weblog (Learned about Silobreaker yesterday from Yochai. It’s an interesting new search engine.) eine nett anmutende Newsplattform namens Silobreaker. Es ist ein News-Aggregator mit semantischen Ansaetzen.

" Silobreaker is an online search service for news and current events that delivers meaning and relevance beyond traditional search and aggregation engines. Its relational analysis and explanatory graphics provide users with unparalleled contextual insight into the news stories of the day.

More than a news aggregator, Silobreaker provides relevance by looking at the data it finds like a person does. It recognises people, companies, topics, places and keywords; understands how they relate to each other in the news flow, and puts them in context for the user. The graphical search results enables users to quickly and easily understand connections, trends and topics or navigate deeper into the most relevant stories for them. No other news search service provides such an extensive suite of contextual tools in the industry today.

Silobreaker pulls content on global issues, science, technology and business from approximately 10,000 news, blog, research and multimedia sources. With the engine’s focus on finding and connecting related data in the information flow, Silobreaker’s user tools and visualisations are ideal for bringing meaning to content from either today’s Web or the evolving Semantic Web, or both. "

An sich ein nuetzlicher Online Recherchedienst fuer Nachrichten und aktuelle Ereignisse aus aller Welt. Zudem bietet Silobreaker eben diesen Semanticansatz. Es "erkennt" Personen, Firmen, Themen, Orte und Stichwoerter; versteht, wie selbige zueinander stehen und stellt die Resultate dessen in Zusammenhang fuer die Nutzer.

** KartOO ist kein Newsaggregator, dennoch ebenfalls einen Blick wert.
