Newstaggr.com - Semantic Tagging For The News

There has been a constant influx of search engines that try to make the whole process of looking up information on the web an easier task, and this particular website joins that group. While it is not as revolutionary as OneRiot (the one search service that I found the most appealing from the ones that cropped up lately), this search tool does what it sets out to do reasonably well.





Broadly speaking, all you have to do is supply a keyword or keywords that interest you in order to see the media and news coverage that concept has received lately. For instance, if you look up any public persona you will be presented with articles where that subject is mentioned along with a wide host of photographs to choose from and a collection of quotes.

The site will also let you have your pick from a cloud of tags that gathers together the most sought-after terms and words. In addition to that, it is interesting to know that through the site you will be able to follow the hottest tags from Twitter if that is what you want to do.
