The Darwin Awareness Engine™ helps users track Web and Enterprise 2.0 events, uncover emerging trends and gain faster understanding of complex issues. To demonstrate the value of this new way to present time-sensitive and contextual information, we have dedicated a Darwin Edition to information relating to Wikileaks, the organization that shares controversial information and one of the hot topics in today’s news.
In this edition, we present recent news, blogs and social media mentioning Wikileaks. We are acting as reporters here and are not endorsing their actions any more than any of the other news organizations that report on them. We picked Wikileaks as it represents a focused and constantly changing topic with the likely emergence of unanticipated news.
The Darwin Awareness Engine presents the rising terms and related concepts emerging as events unfold from the Web’s collective reaction and participation with Wikileaks. Users can observe the emergence of topics of interest, and with a mouse-over and click, see the Web events that relate with the selection. This makes awareness and discovery much faster than managing alerts, search queries, or browsing through countless news/blogs/social web sites.
Darwin Awareness Engine is still in Beta. Try it at http://wikileaks.darwineco.com/. Register, and let us know what you think. See our post: Darwin Awareness Engine™ Edition Series: Part One – Explanation and Instructions for more about the series and how to make the most of it.
You can either look at the general buzz from these sites or choose attractors to focus on specific topics of interest. The default shows you what has happened in the target content sources in the last hour. You can expand it to the last two hours, 24 hours and even last 200 hours. You can focus on the more formal sources or the informal ones (bloggers) or look across both. Again, details instructions can be found in our post on instructions.
We hope that you find these Darwin Editions useful and will certainly appreciate any feedback. Please contact us at [email protected]. We will also be happy to discussion the various business options for a fully functional Darwin edition with all administration rights. You can create your own Darwin Editions on the topics of your choice with the target content of your selection. There are both individual and enterprise options.
Wow ... this is all very colourful stuff and rather nifty.
