A recent Wall Street Journal interview of a leading search engine CEO featured the idea that he thought search was heading in the direction of searching without needing to type. (Google and the Search for the Future, August 14, 2010) Furthermore, he stated that he thought most people did not want his company to answer their questions, rather they wanted his company to tell them what they should be doing next.
In the parlance of News Patterns, we call this intelligence process Discovery. News Patterns has spent the better part of the last decade developing and implementing advanced discovery technologies aimed at distilling intelligence out of seemingly random and overwhelming news signals without needing our clients to know the right questions to ask.
- Users submit their news to our networks or we automatically collect it as a continuous process.
- A sophisticated network of news folders organizes the news and filters out noise.
- Sophisticated patterning algorithms continually seek emerging topics and new connections that are often indicative of potential threats or opportunities.
- Output alerts are integrated email briefings that contain machine generated content as well as options for human analysis.
- Other outputs from patterning algorithms are News Radars that graphically display news and patterns that trigger natural brain perception powers.
- Our brains and eyes can perceive and process patterns at the very fast rate of 10,000,000 bits per second.
- We can read at 240 words per minute or 200 bits per second.
- Humans have not evolved to read hundreds or thousands of articles per week.
- News Radars extend and accelerate the discovery process of news intelligence.
