be sure to check out some of the interactive visualizations include
network graphs of topics like elections, epidemics or political
meetings, geographical 'hotspot' maps depicting crime

graphs of popular news events, such as the popularity of the US
presidential candidates.

24. Insight no longer comes from access to information but from your
ability to make sense of it.
And we cannot solve information overload simply by trying to read
more articles. We don’t have the time nor the brain capacity.

Into the future

31. Recorded Future

32. “What companies are working on fuel cell
products expected between 2012 and 2015?“
“Which heads of state visited Libya in 2010?“
“What pharma companies are releasing
new products in the first quarter of 2012?

33. It takes 300,000 Web pages per hour from 40,000 to 50,000 Internet
sources and digests the information to create a database.
Recorded Future works with structure such as people, places, products
and companies; events such as meetings, travels, acquisitions, earning
calls and natural disasters; and ontologies or hierarchies that
explain groupings such as world leaders, corporations or technology
areas.
And the company’s analysis treats time in several ways — when an
event was reported and when something occurred or is expected to
occur.
It also measures momentum or media buzz.
