Quixto is a system for exploring the news, specifically news about Africa.
Quixto gathers online news content on a continuous basis and analyses it to extract the most important features, such as the names of people, organisations and locations, as well as significant phrases.
It then builds an interactive map of these features, showing how they are connected to each other, as well as a list of snippets from which the features were extracted.
On the Home page, enter a word or phrase in the text box, and click the Explore button. Then click on the features in the resulting map to explore further.
You can also exclude a feature by right-clicking on it.
Quixto was developed and is operated by Predix Communications (Pty) Ltd, a software company based in Cape Town, South Africa.
