Newsfacet.com takes the most recent articles from a variety of sources, uses OpenCalais to analyze the text and then provides a faceted browser type view of the data using Simile Exhibit. It now uses a number of technologies. A description of how Dunelm Technology put them together is here.

John David Anderson created this impressive mashup using the New York Times newswire API and OpenCalais, and won our recent mashup contest.

At ThoughtGlade.com, you can explore recent New York Times articles by clicking on their headlines toload up some basic NYT-supplied metadata about the article, followed by OpenCalais tagging of the article. Click on a tag name to explore the linked data associated with the tag (e.g., maps and related links). Since some tags are ambiguous (e.g., the dozen or more cities named "Washington") you may be first presented with a list of disambiguation options. This takes a bit more time to load. Click on one of the red disambiguation options to see the details.
