Silobreaker Energy Section

With the world focusing in on COP15, the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, we are announcing today about our new energy section, giving users the depth of coverage, quality news, analysis, and rich graphics not available on other news search sites.

Silobreaker's energy section is a great resource for anyone seeking the latest news, blogs or video about this much talked about market and is split up into the following sub-sections:

Fossil Fuels: Oil, Natural Gas, Coal

Alternative Energy: Biofuel, Wind Power, Solar Power, Geothermal Energy, Ocean Power, Hydro Power and Nuclear Power.

Energy Storage: Batteries, Fuel Cells.

Silobreaker Enterprise Software Suite

Today, we are announcing our new software suite for enterprise and government customers looking for more effective ways to search, monitor and analyze the news, tailored to there own internal specifications. Silobreaker’s software provides the deep analytical tools and graphical representation giving customers the ability to find what they are looking for, and also find things they didn’t even know existed.

This is what Sue Feldman, a top search and discovery analyst from IDC says about our announcement: "The problem for information workers today is making sense of the information that they are drowning in. Combining access to information with tools that allow users to explore and understand should create an appealing product for Silobreaker. The fact that they use multiple visual tools, and use linguistic analysis, as well as pattern recognition means that they will be able to surface concepts and names of people, places and things. This in turn should save workers time, and help them to discover trends and facts in the information that they didn't know were there.”

We found that 'prosumers' of www.silobreaker.com quickly realize the value of the technology and want it tailored to meet their own needs by incorporating specific content and criteria. One example is the Swedish Armed Forces (Swedish: Försvarsmakten) who wanted a specific solution to meet their internal requirements. An overall contract was awarded to Swedish integration consultant LearningWell AB who teamed up with us and our Enterprise Software Suite became the central engine for the Swedish Armed Forces’ news intelligence system.

So DEMOfall 09 has just started and as a DEMO alumnus, Silobreaker wishes all the presenting companies best of luck. It'a great launch pad and having launched at DEMO 08,almost two years ago, we continue to improve our search solutions to offer Insight as a Service to people as they peruse the news. As you continue to weed through the immense amount of old-fashioned and new media coverage in the world today, Silobreaker will deliver killer search and graphics to share the news by providing more than just a list of headlines.

More Silobreaker Widgets

We have now added two more widgets in addition to the Network and In Focus widgets we launched in early August. All these widgets are free to use, are updated dynamically and can be added by anyone to their web pages, blogs, forums, etc (just like we've done below).

Story Widget
The Story Widget shows the latest top stories for whatever person, company, organisation, entity, topic, search term etc you select (e.g. like iPhone below). Simply click on the "embed-button" at the top of any story list in Silobreaker and follow the simple steps to embed the feature on your own web page. Takes less than a minute.

Content Widget
The Content Widget shows the latest content headlines for your search term organised under separate tabs; one for news one for blogs, etc (e.g. like for Afghanistan below). You'll find the "embed-button" in the More Content section at the bottom of many pages in Silobreaker.

Have a go and try them out. Great to use as a "news-window" on your own site.

We've also updated the api with functions for the new widgets.
