Silobreaker, Ltd.
Silobreaker
- Conference
- DEMO 08
- Market Segment
- Consumer Software and Services
- Funding Details
- Privately funded. First round of external funding to be sought in 2008.
- Competitors
- No direct competitors that bring together aggregation with analytics, but market leaders for news related search or social news sites include Google News, Factiva and Digg.
- Product Description
- Silobreaker is a search and aggregation service for news and current affairs that looks at the data it finds like a person does. It recognizes things - companies, people, topics, places - and puts them in context. By filtering out the noise and building up a meaningful picture from the information that matters, Silobreaker enables its users to spend more time learning from the web, and less time searching it.
- Market Opportunity
- Search/aggregation is the fastest growing market in the information industry and estimated by Outsell to drive 17% of all revenues by 2010. Consumers of online news are growing twice as fast as the overall Internet audience. NAA reported 59 million monthly news site users during the first quarter of 2007, a 5.3% year-on-year increase.
- DEMO Says
- Silobreaker launched its current affairs search engine months ago and was unfortunately lumped in with the raft of Google/Powerset/ Hakia competitors. Its real power lies in its sophisticated algorithm that drills into topics and entities deeper than we’ve yet seen. Recognizing the revenue potential in the enterprise, Silobreaker debuts its corporate ASP this week at DEMO. Its complex relational analysis and context extraction can now be applied to a company’s internal information, providing a 360-degree view heretofore impossible.

I love this new site, I already include it in my news gathering along with Google news and Technorati. It's even better because I can steal charts and graphs to include when presenting about any given topic.
