This is another busy week on the site, as our developers put the finishing touches on some core features. One is the account creation facility, which will let users sign up to access the site. We're just days away from finishing this - then you'll be able to start researching, read articles, save them to your own portfolio, create and save your own notes and tags, and enjoy the full power of the Keesing's database. We're excited about this: watch this space.

Another nearly complete feature enhances the Clusters facility. Clusters are key to the research possibilities of Keesing's online. They identify and group together references to the content researchers find most useful - the names of people and places. Want to filter your search results to view any articles that mention a particular individual, or refer to a country of interest? Clusters let you do so at a single mouse-click. They also give you an overview of the most important persons related to a given topic, and the countries that are referenced most often in relation to your search term. You can read more about clusters here, and keep watching the blog for details of the feature's full launch.

The developers are also working to enhance your power to search within a single article, while we add extra articles to the database and improve the help files. If there's anything you'd like to see in those files, or elsewhere on the site, please do let us know.
