Darwin Awareness Engine Offers Hip Hop / Rave Aware
by Bill Ives
Darwin Ecosystem has created a new free hip hop and Rave Edition that allows you to keep up with the hip hop and Rave music scene. With this Edition you can either look at the general buzz in this music scene or choose attractors to focus on specific topics of interest. The BuzzTape™ reports topics that are receiving rising attention in real time. The Scan Cloud™ looks at relationships between sub-themes and the main topics of interest. Since the content self-organizes itself, it is not possible to compromise the results through SEO or spam. Here is a sample screen shot.
The Darwin Awareness Engine™ is designed to support the quick scanning of content to find the anomalies that lead to insights for effective decision making. If you are spending a lot of time and energy collecting information, you are more likely to get too much as the focus is on collecting. If you are scan for interesting content and anomalies through the Scan Cloud™ within the Awareness Engine, the focus is on looking for the right information.
With the Scan Cloud, the top 100 themes within a set of content are displayed in a manner that allows for easy sorting and investigation. As you scan over the themes the related themes are highlighted in yellow allowing you to see the relationships between them. Through any of the themes you can see links to the actual content that generated these themes and go deep into what you find relevant. As you mouse over the themes other related themes are highlighted so you can see relationships as shown in the close up of the Scan Cloud™ below.
You can find an overview of the Awareness Engine here, and a list of FAQs here. As a disclosure, I am part of the Darwin team.
