Newssift for Business News
Financial Times Launches Newssift, A Business News Search Engine by Matt McGee, Search Engine Land (Mar 18)
Newssift - a new business news engine in test that uses semantic technologies.
"Currently indexing thousands of news sources worldwide, and with millions of articles in its database, Newssift aims to bring context and meaning that its creators say is missing from traditional keyword-based business news search engines."
Very faceted: "Users can refine queries across multiple search options, such as Topic, Organization, Place, Person, and Theme/Keyword (see the gray area at top). Below the suggestions, Newssift’s search results include additional context, such as the ability to refine results by Sentiment and/or Article Sources (see pie charts on left)."
