Reuters' acquisition of ClearForest follows another very recent deal we already talked about in this blog : Salesforce takeover of Koral. It shows the interest of big industry players such as Reuters for unstructured content technologies and emphizes the new era of Web 3.0 is really on its way.

ClearForest is one of the pioneers of mining content from Web sites, weblogs ... and other sources for businesses seeking to make sense of the flow of content that doesn't reside in neatly structured databases.
