The realtime web just got wider, and OneRiot is here to organize it.

MySpace users, and the content they share with friends, make a massive contribution to the realtime social web. And now, when a MySpace user publicly shares a link to a web page in their status update, OneRiot immediately indexes, ranks and delivers that content as a search result.

We’re able to do that thanks to a range of new APIs that MySpace just announced, giving 3rd party application developers unprecedented access to huge volumes of realtime social information that’s being passed between MySpace users. Today, when Myspacers update their profiles by publicly sharing links to new blog posts, viral videos or other web content they’re interested in, we can immediately make that content available to everyone searching with OneRiot, whether directly or via one of the 70+ services that make use of our realtime search API. This uncovers more of the news, stories and videos that the social web is buzzing about, boosting the relevancy of our realtime results.

MySpace users share a proportionally high volume of music and video content in comparison to users on other social sharing services, enhancing OneRiot’s search results in these areas. The “social signals” that we get from MySpace complement those we already work with from the likes of Twitter and Digg, not to mention our own three million-strong user panel.

There’s some very clever technology going on at the back end, a lot of it rooted in open web and realtime web emerging standards. But to our users (and the users of the 70+ services who syndicate our search results), the benefit is clear: your search results get better. When you search on OneRiot, you find the news, stories and videos that people are buzzing about right now - the pulse of the web.

In 2008, a new conference explored the emerging field of browser add-ons, surpassing expectations and generating insightful conversation around a new league of products. Called Add-on-Con, the California summit marked the only conference organized by members of the add‐on community, and designed specifically for people who build and market browser add-ons - and this year’s event is less than a week away.

Similar to 2008’s event, Add-on-Con 2009 will bring together platform vendors, developers and marketers, with the goal of facilitating communication and sharing knowledge. This year, the marketing track will dig deeper into partnerships, stats and distribution, while the development track will cover more ground. Developers interested in one-to-one interactions with browser vendors and distribution partners should also check out CodeFest2, a free developer-only mini conference running alongside Add-on-Con.
