    The state of Minnesota will use Vivisimo’s Velocity Search Platform to index nearly a million pages of state content, provide federated search of external Web sites, and make the information available through a single search box for public facing sites and on intranet and extranets for state employees and the public.

  • Federal Computer Week: "Twitter, blogs and other Web 2.0 tools revolutionize government business"
    6 March 2009
    By Doug Beizer – (A story on the use of Web 2.0 tools in the government quotes Randy Adkins, director of the Air Force Center of Excellence for Knowledge Management, about Vivisimo's social search features.) Recently, Air Force officials added a tool in the system from Vivisimo that lets users rate, tag and share bookmarks related to the content. The ratings feature has been very successful, Adkins said. In one example, a service member in Djibouti used the system to find information about contingency contracting, then tagged it with a high rating so others could find it more easily. "So as people vote and rate the stuff that they find very valuable it moves up, and the stuff they don’t find valuable moves down," Adkins said. "It is a great way for people to learn from other people."

    December 2008
    By Barbara Brynko - The new user-friendly interface takes the mystery out of the search process. Instead of hiding search refinements behind a black box, Velocity 7.0 lets users expand or refine their own queries via a series of check boxes that modify their search transparently. Users in an enterprise can also improve the search process by creating internal thesauri and ontologies to expand or refine queries using synonyms.
