Anti-Church Car Chase Leads to Grounding, Hell

7/29/09 - Posted by Jennifer Hodges under OneRiot News
YouTube Preview Image

Some kids are bad to the bone, others are bad to the soul. So goes the story of a seven year old Utah boy who lead police officers on a car chase in his father’s Dodge Intrepid in order to avoid going to church. Like a bat outta’ hell (or an AC/DC song), this mini Satan-spawn rolled through stop signs, recklessly weaved through lanes, and took speeds up to a blistering 40 MPH (any speed over 10 MPH is blistering if under the age of 10).

Two deputies finally caught up to the boy near Salt Lake City, where he stopped in a driveway and bolted inside the house. Unfortunately, the random home could not provide sanctuary to this little speed-demon and he was soon apprehended. The boy is too young to be punished by authorities, but instead we’re guessing his true punishment should be an exorcism and a Sunday School intervention. Amen.

EventBox Introduces OneRiot Realtime Search (Giveaway!)

7/27/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under OneRiot News

UPDATE: Commenters who didn’t leave contact info, please email chagen AT oneriot DOT com so we can hand over the details!

That’s the EventBox logo. Pretty awesome, huh? Kind of like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Reddit and a bunch of other good stuff climbed into into the same jacuzzi, wrapped themselves up like a birthday present, then threw a party. Well, guess who just joined the bubbles? (A foam party - wheee!)… OneRiot!

We’re thrilled to be the new realtime search provider for EventBox, because this social network consolidator is sexy to look at, simple to use, and is big in the UK - which counts for way more than being big somewhere else, like Tuscon.

In addition to allowing users to consolidate their social network activity into a seriously beautiful user interface, Eventbox offers other nice perks - stuff like integrated photo viewing, non-invasive message alerts, and a constantly growing line-up of supported networks. Now, thanks to today’s OneRiot integration, users can also find the freshest, most buzzed about content on the realtime web within EventBox - so those soc net addicts can just keep on chattering.

Eventbox is normally a fifteen-dollar download (while in beta), but we have a few exclusive invites for the OneRiot community… want one?

eventbox

We’ll need your Twitter name or your email address to send you the download codes, so be sure to include that in your comment - thanks!

Scour Mixes It Up with OneRiot Realtime Results

7/22/09 - Posted by Courtney Walsh under OneRiot News

image0013Scour has dressed itself pretty in pink by adding OneRiot realtime search to its mix of search engines. This traditional + realtime duo allows to simultaneously search Google, Yahoo!, Bing and OneRiot, delivering all of the engines’ results on one page.

As an example, check out this search for ‘Obama - You’ll see Google, Yahoo! and Bing results that span Obama’s official website, his Wikipedia page and the White House page, right alongside OneRiot realtime results - in this case, is a fresh news piece about Obama’s new health policy .

Thanks, Scour for beautifully showing off realtime search vs. traditional search! Oh and if you’re keen on earning money, they have a $1000 giveaway that you might want to check out too!

Move Over Arrington: It’s Alex Odam Time

7/16/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry, OneRiot News

picture-2013A huge thank you to Wiltshire’s Alex Odam for giving OneRiot a very excellent review in the upcoming edition of VOICE, Warminster school’s magazine. Alex edits and designs the magazine, and decided that a piece on realtime search belonged in this issue - lucky us!

There are some cool things to be noted about Alex: He’s a graphic designer, a video blogger, a writer, a film maker and a BIG Apple fan. But the best thing about Alex? He’s 14. Check out the awesome article he wrote (and some email highlights):

CrunchUp Recap (and Final Nerd Count)

7/13/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under OneRiot News

The Realtime CrunchUp was buzzworthy, thought-provoking, and full of the juicy nerdery that make TechCrunch events worth the going.

Last Friday, Courtney, Kimbal, Tobias and I headed to Redwood City for the Realtime CrunchUp, which was buzzworthy, thought-provoking, and full of the juicy nerdery that make TechCrunch events worth the going.

Firstly - huge thanks to the crew at TC for putting on such a great event. Secondly, high fives to everyone that spoke, presented or launched, with special kudos to realtime search panelists Edo Segal, Sean Suchter, Danny Sullivan, Vipul Ved Prakash, Matt Cutts, Gerry Campbell, and our very own Kimbal Musk (great highlights of that panel here). And trois-ly, a set of rowdier claps to August Capital for hosting such a great party following.

… and last but not least, we held a little contest at our demo table, and if you took part you’re probably antsy to find out if you won an iPod. For the win, there were this many nerds at the Realtime CrunchUp:

No one got in on the dot, but with a close 24,000 our winner is Seattle’s Jon Staenberg. I need your address Jon, ping me.

Catch Us at the CrunchUp

7/09/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry, OneRiot News

Tomorrow we’re headed for the Real Time CrunchUp, where we’ll join TechCrunch for the first ever realtime industry love-fest. We’ll be in the brainy company of some of today’s most inventive web movers and shakers, covering all the bases of this exciting, quickly accelerating movement that’s helping web users stay ever-connected to “the now.” Predictably, we’re most excited to watch our very own Kimbal Musk talk realtime search as part of what should be a killer afternoon panel - but then again, we’re biased.

If you happen to be going to the CrunchUp (or the party at August Capital following), be sure to say hello. We’ll be demo-ing, chatting, shaking not stirring, playing games (hint, hint) and, of course, remembering MJ - so if you plan on doing any of the same, do it with us!
