It took only one day for Correlate to be discovered. My colleague, Daniela Barbosa, found it quite quickly. And all it took was a name mention and an alert set-up on the term.

A little of 24 hours is not bad, especially considering Daniela just got back from vacation. She found Correlate with an alert looking for mentions of her name and her blog. That alone shows how interesting the web has become and how each individual user finds their way to extract the value from it. Even in the days of information overload and the endless web, if you know what you are looking for, there are tools you can leverage to find it. Sometimes the tools are simple like a simple alert and others the tools required will be much more powerful like mining applications.
