Silobreaker

MSRP: $0.00

This news-focused search engine is thorough and delivers contextually relevant graphics and videos.

Review date: Oct 2, 2008

Silobreaker is a search engine designed for news junkies who want as much information as possible—with some graphical analysis thrown in, to boot. The interface takes some getting used to, but we like the thorough aggregation and mix of articles and multimedia. All the News that’s Fit to Post Silobreaker aggregates content from approximately 10,000 sources, including news, blogs, multimedia, and research, providing a robust reading list. But it also delivers visual results, generating graphs and charts designed to illustrate trends and put the news of the day in context. Silobreaker has dedicated sections on Business and Science & Technology, as well as a sprawling Global Issues section, which includes an array of topics, from world conflict and national politics to health and environmental findings. In short, it’s for news junkies who want to digest as much information as quickly as possible.
