NewsCloud is a site experiment that fetches news from Google News, tries to find tags related to each news and presents a tag cloud of the daily news. During the news process, there's no human intervention. All tags are discovered automatically from Google News by text analysis. When a user passes the mouse over a tag, related tags gets highlighted. That way, you can have a glance of what the news is about. When a user clicks on a tag, the related news are presented on the right box. Cicking on them goes directly to the news source. The pages are served statically, and are generated every 30 minutes. Currently, NewsCloud works on news for U.S. and Brasil. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
