Thanks for the background. I'm working on a similar project but currently parsing news articles using a collection of specific rss feeds and calling Google's NLP API with the text. It sounds like AlchemyAPI seems be a better fit in this case.

How are you finding Neo4J is handling the scale of reading and writing all these stories? I've had a positive experience so far but I'm only in the few thousands range.

Neo4j handles read/write seamlessly I have found, but I'm only around 10,000 nodes and 20,000+ edges. I've heard use cases for Neo4j in the range of 50M+ nodes. My position on this is not whether Neo4j can handle it but whether your code and infrastructure can.
