Circos is a me-centric search engine that makes it quick and easy to find the answers you're looking for

What Company is Offering:
Circos is a me-centric search engine that makes it quick and easy to find the answers you're looking for. They call it me-centric search because they believe that search should be all about you.

How It Works:

When you search for something at Circos, you receive a personalized guide of trustworthy answers. Every answer returned receives a letter grade for your personal search criteria. You can even validate each result with the actual customer opinions that made up the grade.

How Is It Different:
Most search engines today return thousands of web pages to you – that may or may not contain the answer you need. These results are based on what's popular, not necessarily what's right for you.

Circos returns a small number of actual answers to your search requests, rather than links to Web pages that might contain an answer. They want you to search in the same way you would ask for a recommendation from a friend – with colorful descriptions.

What Company is Offering:
TubeMogul is the first online video analytics and distribution company serving publishers large and small who need independent information about video performance on the Internet and automated upload to the Web's top video sharing sites.

TubeMogul's analytic technology aggregates video-viewing data from multiple sources to give publishers improved understanding of when, where and how often videos are watched, track and compare what's hot and what's not, measure the impact of marketing campaigns, gather competitive intelligence, and share the data with colleagues or friends.

How It Works:

They begin tracking your videos upon the date of your request to do so. So if no data appears initially, log back in one day to see your data. In the cases where one of members is already tracking a specific video or video publisher the information will appear immediately. You can track up to ten video publishers. They expanded this from six recently and they are working to further expand this functionality.

Their users include independent content producers, media companies, ad agencies, digital consultants, record labels, film studios, politicians, consumer products organizations and corporations.

The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the worlds content more accessible

What Company Is Offering:
The Calais initiative seeks to help make all the worlds content more accessible, interoperable and valuable via the automated generation of rich semantic metadata, the incorporation of user defined metadata, the transportation of those metadata resources throughout the content ecosystem and the extension of it’s capabilities by user-contributed components.

How it Works;
The Calais web service automatically attaches rich semantic metadata to the content you submit – in well under a second. Using natural language processing, machine learning and other methods, Calais categorizes and links your document with entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), facts (person ‘x’ works for company ‘y’), and events (person ‘z’ was appointed chairman of company ‘y’ on date ‘x’). The metadata results are stored centrally and returned to you as industry-standard RDF constructs accompanied by a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). Using the Calais GUID, any downstream consumer is able to retrieve this metadata via a simple call to Calais.

This metadata gives you the ability to build maps (or graphs or networks) linking documents to people to companies to places to products to events to geographies to … whatever. You can use those maps to improve site navigation, provide contextual syndication, tag and organize your content, create structured folksonomies, filter and de-duplicate news feeds or analyze content to see if it contains what you care about. And, you can share those maps with anyone else in the content ecosystem.

Calais provides automation of rich semantic metadata generation, incorporation of user-developed metadata, transportation of metadata throughout the content ecosystem and extension by allowing users to build new metadata generation capabilities.

The web service is free for commercial and non-commercial use.
