Enhancements and Upgrades at Vivisimo

Web Search--Vivisimo
Enhancements and Upgrades at Vivisimo
Word today from the Pittsburgh based "clustering" software company about a few tweaks and enhancements to the very useful "metasearch like" Vivisimo. Saman Haqqi from Vivisimo has shared with ResourceShelf a list of what's new. I'm looking forward to trying these new options out.
---
Result Clusters (Located on the Left Side of Results Page)
* Show in Clusters
* Show in Clusters - This feature lets end users click on a search result and see its context within the hierarchical folders. Showing the context lets users understand how a search result fits within the larger scheme of knowledge relating to the query, and
* Easily find similar search results that are placed within the same folders. This
enables the user to quickly focus on relevant folders only.
--
Viewing Pages (Options located next to each page title)
* Full Window - Results now open in full browser window by
default.
* Frames - This option has many choices now i.e. users
can access Google cache, bookmark the page, as well as comfortably browse through the results.
--
ResourceShelf has also learned that more announcements from the company are coming very soon. They should include word about updates to Vivisimo�s news, shopping and advanced search pages. On the enterprise side a new release of Vivisimo's clustering software is nearing completion. Thanks to C.A. for the news tip.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
