Real Time Intelligence: Overflight

Overflight is an internal tool developed by ArnoldIT.com to monitor certain content. The methodology grew over a period of time and now includes a number of separate functions combined into one Overflight service. This is a demonstration project at this time. Although we have used the system for client engagements such as the Threat Open Source Information Gateway (www.tosig.com), this is the first public access to the system.

The content for this demonstration is drawn from Google's more than 74 blogs. Most of the people with whom I speak are familiar with one or two of these publications. However, when monitoring Google's innovations, it is important to be able to get a quick view of what's new on each of these publications.

To see why this service is valuable, select a tab, choose a blog, and click on a title. Scan the Google document. Now try to locate the same post using Google, Google's blog search service, Microsoft Live.com, Yahoo.com, or Technorati.com. What you will find is that most of these documents are not indexed in a timely fashion.

To see current Google blog information, click one of the hot links below. When you select a title, you will be redirected to the Google blog site.

ArnoldIT.com can develop an Oversight service on a topic that you specify. If you want to discuss a customized intelligence service, write me at sa at arnoldit dot com.

Real Time Search Vendor Updates

Overflight now features a series of real time search vendor updates. You can see what's new with selected companies by clicking on one of the links below. We will be adding companies in the weeks and months ahead. The idea is to make it easy to get a snapshot of views about a search vendor.

The first eighteen companies made available from the larger, for-fee Overflight search vendor dashboard service are:

Each entry includes a brief, 35 word description of the company, a link to the vendor's main Web site, and a cost indication (Low, Mid Range, High End) and an ArnoldIT.com rating of one to five geese. The rating represents the opinion of ArnoldIT.com and it is based on the company's work in search and content processing. Your "rating" and cost experience may differ from the opinion expressed in this free service. If you want to grouse or send a comment, write seaky2000 at yahoo dot com.
