Factiva's Search 2.0 Beta is Now Live
Paula Hane takes an in-depth look at the new beta that was released on Tuesday. From the article, "On Tuesday, Jan. 17, Factiva will officially take the wraps off the beta of its new Search 2.0 interface. Existing Factiva.com users can opt to click on the beta preview link and a new browser window will open, offering them the latest in Factiva's 'Discovery Technologies.' The new search interface, which features results visualization and interactive graphical navigation, is targeted at end users who desire a search experience that is similar to popular Web search engines, though it may also appeal to seasoned researchers. The most obvious difference is a new graphical pane on the right side of the screen that visually surfaces metadata from the search results. Factiva claims that the new graphical filtering and navigation capabilities will transform business research because users will be able to easily see connections, relationships, and ideas within search results."

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


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?
