There’s fast, faster, and fastest.  For all you speed demons out there, is there any question which degree of acceleration you’d choose?  Didn’t think so.  That being said, it only makes sense that you would turn your attention to FastestFox, the speediest little add-on you’ll ever meet.

Equipped for both Firefox and Chrome, FastestFox helps you browse faster by speeding up common tasks such as searching Wikipedia and Google, visiting your bookmarks, and more.  You can even snag “related results” which fetches relevant results from other search engines including Surf Canyon and our very own OneRiot.

screen-shot-2010-03-10-at-65348-pmOne of the sweetest features of FastestFox is their highlight feature.  Read something online that you’re interested in?  Just highlight the text and a little bubble will pop up letting you choose between OneRiot, Wikipedia, Twitter, and Google.  Click any of the four options and be automatically directed to query results within your search of choice.

Go ahead and hook yourself up with FastestFox for an enhanced browsing experience–Though be on the lookout for the internet police, they can come down hard on speeding violations.

SXSW // Dining with Dino

3/05/10 - Posted by Courtney Walsh under Events, OneRiot News, OneRiot Partnerships

Dinosaurs are coming to Austin, and they’re ready for dinner.

OneRiot is teaming up with Taptu (the leading mobile search engine) and Loopt (a location-based social mapping service) at the SXSW Interactive Festival to bring a herd of hungry, prehistoric creatures to Austin, TX.  Using cellphones, geo-tagging and status updates, Dining with Dino will use the year’s most popular technological advances to bring SXSW attendees back to where it all began: with huge, flesh-eating reptiles.

On the days of March 14, 15 and 16th, thirty inflatable - though massively terrifying - dinosaurs will be abandoned at SXSW hot spots, wearing only a nametag and a set of directions.

#SXSWi conference attendees brave enough to interact with the beasts will unlock a world of dino-sized dinners, as their journey through panels, parties and downtown Austin leads T-Rex and friends to free meals at secret destinations. Just follow @OneRiot and @Taptu Twitter accounts to learn when and where to bring the dinos to score *free drinks and grub* for yourselves and a handful of friends.

Today, OneRiot’s realtime video search results just got a boost from the folks over at VideoSurf- a killer video search engine unlike any you’ve seen before.

By simply downloading their updated Firefox Add-On or Google Chrome Extension, our realtime video results will now be enhanced with VideoSurf’s powerful video search technology including a unique visual summary.   Web surfers will not only be able to find the most socially relevant and current videos (powered by OneRiot’s PulseRank technology), but  will also get distinct insight into the actual video content within the search results page on OneRiot.com.  Also, VideoSurf inserts its most relevant results for the same query on the right rail to give users more bang for their search.

Most video search engines are blind to video content, relying solely only on headlines, tags and other text – not but not these guys!  VideoSurf’s Computer Vision Field technology allows them to see inside the video to determine what kind of content it holds. Likewise, OneRiot determines the relevancy of online videos by how many times the video link is shared on the social web across sites like Twitter, Digg, MySpace and others.  The combination of these two smart search technologies is a perfect match for video web fanatics to quickly and easily find exactly what they are looking for in the wide world of online videos!
