...Intelliseek's software can be set up to monitor and query the databases of news sites, chatrooms and Usenet groups for trends, product information, gossip about your company and your competitors. "We identify the best sources for a topic, company or individual then mine the information automatically, aggregate it, filter it, clean it, index it, relevance-rank it, auto-categorize it and move it into the matrix," says Vora. Often the most useful information is already sitting on a company's own network. E-mail from customers and clients can be a goldmine if it's harvested and made searchable...

In this instance, I turn and see a man's face very close to mine, an expression between urgency and fright upon it. I'm surprised above all else. "Come," he says. "It was your daughter that was hit with the foul...
...just property databases. Wisconsin has most of its arrest and court records online. (I discovered that a former law-school classmate of mine has had two traffic violations and was a defendant in a civil lawsuit.) The federal courts have put many of their records online through a system called Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER). Among the data available: Social Security numbers; financial assets, which often must be revealed in court proceedings; and the names and ages of minor children...
