Blastfeed powers the French presidential campaign

A little bit of marketing to show what we can do with the Blastfeed platform. We have put together a web site (http://www.elysee2007endirect.com) that is automatically fed with the Blastfeed filtering and aggregating service.

This site is all about the French upcoming presidential election. It posts a great, up to date, real-time, synthetic view of what is said on each presidential candidate. Lots of feeds coming from new sites and blogs are constantly monitored and filtered to detect posts about each presidential candidates. It is then pushed and categorized automatically on the site.

We want to show how Blastfeed can be used to power applications:

- The site is a WordPress blog. It can any other platform or framework or application.
- The backend is Blastfeed, which scans feeds, detects what fits in the relevant topic and then posts everything real-time.

Sort of simple. Blastfeed can be seen as a publishing hub or as a sort of a media center.

A corporation can put together a site / blog where their own content can be published via RSS along side with external content sifted through by subjects of interest to the enterprise. All sources of information are selected, generally because they are relevant and trustworthy. One also builds a repository of information that can be shared across the enterprise community.

The motto is “RSS everywhere in the enterprise, where information finds me rather than me finfidng the information”. And we are trying to put together meaningful solutions and services along that line.
