Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Newsdesk update, we are pleased to announce the release of an updated search tab within the Metabase Portal:
Moreover developed the new Search functionality at the request of our clients, to expand on the search options we provide across our Source Lists. This option enables our clients to submit Source Lists to determine whether Moreover is already harvesting specific sites in the News Metabase and/or Social Media Metabase.
The tool provides either exact or partial matches. Where a link is not matched precisely, but the domain is part of our index, this will appear as a partial result.
All results returned provide the relevant source information and metadata as found in the other tabs within the Metabase Portal by clicking the grey button next to each result. The Feed Class column defines whether the matched entry is part of the News Metabase or Social Media Metabase.
We hope this additional functionality will really show off our sources lists and let us know should you have any questions or feedback!

As we approach the end of the year we’d like to announce a number of enhancements to both our News and UGC Metabase products.
Over the past few months we have been particularly busy growing our coverage of news and social media sources, with much more still to come in the New Year. The UGC Metabase now serves around 750k posts a day from our spam-free White List of social media sites. This represents a 200% increase in volume from earlier in the year, and coverage has now jumped to 435k feeds watched with a further increase due by year-end. Coverage has particularly been boosted over platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Wikipedia to deliver a rich and diverse range of social media sources now being watched, along with other microblogging platforms, consumer reviews, forums, Q&A sites and more. We have also increased the number of social media feeds with geotagging, so users can now easily list and organise sources by nationality and region.
On the News Metabase side of things we now index over half a million news articles a day from 32k sources, a twenty percent increase in recent months. Other improvements to the news side include enhancing the way we identify and tag article authors and recently growing the number of news categories available to 800. The full complement of news feeds can be seen here : http://w.moreover.com/public/free-rss/prebuilt-feeds.html
We’d love to hear any queries or reactions to these changes, so feel free to drop us a line below!
