COMPUTING RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK [Feb 25 - March 2, 2012]
Seriously Rapid Source Review
Researchers at Rutgers University and Microsoft developed Seriously Rapid Source Review to give journalists access to breaking news like never before. Reporters won't have to comb the web or Twitter's 200 million tweets a day for sources.
