Abstract: An identification, curation and trend monitoring method and system provide information about private or publicly-traded companies by correlating multiple information sources. The approach provides for a highly-scalable, highly-available information management system and method that processes huge amounts of uncorrelated (and possibly unstructured) data and generates notifications or other alerts when information therein indicates relevant information about an object of interest, typically a publicly-traded company represented by a stock symbol. Users of the system are provided with notifications or alerts (about the company) when the system discerns significant social media chatter and/or company-specific news flow with respect to a particular stock symbol.
