Briefs: Google News in licensing deals with wire services

+ Google News in licensing deals with wire services (via News.com)

The partners, which include Britain's Press Association, Canadian Press, Agence France-Presse and the Associated Press of the United States, will have their stories featured with the organizations' own brands on Google News-hosted landing pages.

The article goes on to say that this should help cut down on duplicate stories. That's good news! The issue is what metric will be used to determine a dupe? Some versions of let's say an AP story might be 750 words while others might run a 450 word version. From a business angle it will be interesting to see how news sources that run AP content (for example) deal with their site not getting the notice it once did. Of course, AP, AFP and many news organizations have "deals" with Yahoo (nicely organized page) (in addition to its own crawl of news sources). Dow Jones MarketWatch also offers content from many sources. Nice advanced search interface.

Well organized and updated all of the time. You can even see a color-coded feed of each article as it enters the database. Also note how each item contains a flag showing where the news source is located.

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?
