The New York Times Magazine recognizes OneRiot and realtime search in the 2009 Year in Ideas! Needless to say, this year has been filled with exciting developments for both our company and the realtime search space so it’s a huge honor to see a publication like The New York Times include us in their highly anticipated, extremely popular, annual round-up of brilliant ideas … Check it out here!

Today OneRiot officially turned one year old (or shall we say young?).

On Nov. 12, 2008, our realtime search engine burst onto the internets, and a year later we have a lot to celebrate. From getting bundled into IE8, to predicting American Idol winners, to distributing our search results to lots of partners, to launching the first ad network for the realtime web, to partnering with Taptu to release the first realtime search engine for mobile, it’s been quite a ride!

Check out our birthday cake after the jump! (more…)

I was talking to a fellow Brit last night about a new soccer-related start up he’s building. Then I got to thinking… I’d love someone to build a “soccer news” dashboard from the realtime data that OneRiot delivers.

We’ve blogged before about the way OneRiot indexes and ranks. You can read more about it in our (mercifully short) white paper. Broadly speaking, our results reflect the current “pulse” on the web for any subject. We find “the good stuff” that people are buzzing about right now.

Specifically on that “soccer dashboard” idea, here are a few neat tricks you can employ to get the most out of our index and ranking algorithm.

You can do a “multiple domain search” on OneRiot, and add a key word. So, for example, here is a search to find the buzz on Manchester United from the British press.

We can then feed that information to you via RSS, like we’ve done here.

This means you can syndicate and/or present that information how you see fit.

OneRIot also has an API, so you could do server side integration and work with the XML or JSON that we return. This contains a rich set of “social metadata” (such as the ability to see which user shared a particular link on what service on the social web). Do an API call for every team, if you want (but maybe leave out Hull, because they will be relegated before you finish your project

Finally, you could take a stream of our results for a particular team and feed them into a Twitter account. Twitter followers would then see a stream of links to the buzziest content on the web for their favorite team. An easy way to do this is via Twitterfeed (we use this for our RiotFeeds). Here’s one I just made last week that tracks the buzziest stories from the British Press on Chelsea FC - @ChelseaFCBuzz - it’s killer content!

As a football-crazy Brit abroad, I’d love someone to build this. If you do, let me know - you’ll be my homepage in a heartbeat.

OneRiot tee-shirts are smokin’ hot - and they’ve been going fast, real fast. Realtime enthusiasts, predominately male, have been snatching them up, not only because they make you look like a total babe, but because geek is chic–and nothing is nerdier than a search engine.

While we’re aware that the techie/computer/web space is a little XY-dominated, there’s no reason why the ladies should be missing out on this bot couture. For this specific reason, we made sure to order plenty of American Apparel women’s T’s, just so they could show off their girlish figures and rock OneRiot at the same time. Long story short - while we’re pretty much out of dude sizes, we’ve got plenty of lovely ladies shirts, and we’re giving them away to you for free.

Interested parties should send an email to Jhodges@oneriot.com, using “OneRiot Shirt” in the subject header. We’ll get one out to you ASAP, and - if we really like you - we may even throw in a sticker or two.
