A post from Informationoverloard titled Newssift – promising new business news search engiine excerpted here:
“The FT has launched a new business news search engine called Newssift. Newssift indexes about 4,000 business news sources, from online newspapers and blogs to news portals and research sites. It is ingesting about 120,000 articles a day right now and applying semantic tags to each one. In the end it can categorize each article by business topic, organization, place, person, and theme.
You can enter a search term, or choose from news topics – random topics currently in news in the Business, Organisation, Place, Person, and Theme categories..
This has a lot of promise. The Faceted search approach is a good one. Whilst is by no means perfect of of the box, it is certainly worth keeping an eye on and adding to you list of news search tools.”
thank you for the mention. the team at newssift is excited to receive feedback from our users. please drop us a note on how we can improve the tool.
