Silobreaker

Mapped up is an interesting application. But Silobreaker is totally different. and much more impressive!

It's acutally "an online search service for news and current events that delivers meaning and relevance beyond traditional search and aggregation engines. Its relational analysis and explanatory graphics provide users with unparalleled contextual insight into the news stories of the day."

The website is quite complex at first, and that's not a good thing. but once you've actually understand what you can find here, I bet you'll be amazed.

I haven't seen it all. Of course, my favourite part is the "hot spots"... the map.
Just have a look by trying out these links:

Explore Hot Spots:

Crime : Bribery/Corruption | Murder/Manslaughter | Cocaine | Gun Crime | Internet Crime
Disasters & Accidents : Natural Disasters | Man Made Disasters | Hurricanes | Flooding
Health & Environment : Epidemics | Global Warming/Climate Change | Water / Food Safety | HIV/AIDS
Politics & Social : Elections | Human Rights Issues | Poverty
Threats : Terrorist Acts | CBRN / WMD
Organizations & People : Al Qaeda | Condoleezza Rice | Red Cross/Crescent
