You can find the HayStack overview here. Screenshots here. Download (semantic web browser, an early release) here.

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?
