        | TextMap is a search engine for 
                  entities: the important (and not so important)people, places, 
                  and things in the news. Our news analysis system automatically 
                  identifies and monitors these entities, and identifies meaningful 
                  relationships between them. 
                  
 TextMap analyzes both the 
                  temporal and geographical distribution of news entities. We 
                  literally monitor the state-of-the-world through our analysis 
                  of roughly 1000 domestic and international news sources every 
                  day.
 
 TextMap uses natural 
                  language processing techniques to track entity references in 
                  news sources, and a variety of statistical techniques to 
                  analyze the relationships between them.
