Silobreaker Applies Intelligence Technology to Consumer Topics
December 9, 2009
Silobreaker, http://www.silobreaker.com, started out as a intelligence service for government agencies and competitive intelligence professionals. Its search function targets news and current events in Global Issues, Technology, Science, Business, Energy, and World topics. But it doesn’t just return a list of results, it aggregates a collection of information around the key words entered and presents it in a visual interface. Now Silobreaker is expanding into a more consumer-targeted market and offering its search aggregator’s services in the highly popular fields of sports and entertainment. http://sports.silobreaker.com/ and http://entertainment.silobreaker.com/ offer fans the chance to create their own targeted Silobreaker page with widgets to keep track of top stories, news, blogs, reports and research, audio and visual material, trends, quotes, and even material at YouTube.com. You can start with the standard generated page and filter results, or the customized user page can be shared with others. I think sports and entertainment fanatics who are willing to spend the time to set up the widgets would really enjoy this search service. Silobreaker likes the new services as well. Ads on the sites are generating “real money”, the managing director told Beyond Search.

I paid Ms. Bratcher to write this article. Silobreaker did not pay me one red cent, but I was assured of herring 12 ways when I am in Stockholm in May 2010. Yummy!
