(1) What startups are hiring engineers with strengths in machine learning/NLP TIBCO | Real-time, event-enabled infrastructure software for enterprises NewsWhip builds interactive social news clouds with Infomous NDRC start-up NewsWhip, which tracks the world’s news stories and shows which ones are spreading fastest via social media, has forged an alliance with US data visualisation company Infomous to create interactive clouds that show the fastest-spreading topics. Users can now find small interactive clouds on the sidebar of NewsWhip.com. As users navigate the site (going to a section on gossip or tech, for example), the topic of the cloud also changes. Meanwhile, there's a more interactive, full-size cloud at Infomous.com/site/newswhip, with news from the US, Canada, the UK and India. The companies are planning to provide a cloud interface for more topics soon. "It's really neat to see our data presented in this way" said Paul Quigley, NewsWhip CEO. Last week, NewsWhip won the People's Choice Award at Dublin Beta. 'See' what's hot "The ability to see what articles are 'hot' in a specific topic category makes for a particularly compelling type of cloud." John Kennedy

'The most ambitious project at eBay for a long, long time' High performance access to file storage "It's one of the most ambitious projects that's been undertaken at eBay for a very, very long time," vice president of search and experience technology Hugh Williams tells us on the phone. "I'd argue it's on the scale of any major search engine re-write a company has done." That's a meaty claim. eBay is one of the biggest names in tech, a survivor of the late 1990s dot-com bubble which has come to dominate the market for online auctions. Not only that, but this isn't the first mega-search project Williams has worked on. And you don't need to be a search algorithm nerd to appreciate Williams' Bing work: it's right in front of your eyes. Williams' eBay project is a complete rewrite of the piece of software that's been hardwired into eBay's annual $9.2bn business for nearly 10 years: its search engine. Williams' vision for Cassini is a 'world class' search engine. Williams' vision for Cassini is a "world class" search engine. SPARC-ing out
