Under Construction // Something Shiny This Way Comes

5/07/09 - Posted by Tobias Peggs under OneRiot News

Firstly – thank you!

We launched twitter.oneriot.com as an experimental site just over a month ago. We put it out there to ask for feedback, in hopes that you would help us build a product that was as fun to use as it was useful. You gave us a bunch of awesome feedback, and we learned a ton.

Note that “feedback” in that last sentence is hyperlinked, but “learned” is not. That’s because what it will link to – a new version that, hey, incorporates nearly all of your feedback – launches next week. (This, of course, is subject to the usual disclaimers, assumes that QA goes swimmingly well, and that our refrigerator stays stocked with enough Redbull to keep everyone going until then.)

If you want a sneak peak of what we’ve got coming, @tobiaspeggs for details (we’ll give the first 50 people a special invite code to test drive the new stuff). In the mean time, you can still use the standard OneRiot search engine to find the news, stories and videos that people are buzzing about right now across the social web.

So hang tight, Twitter Search die-hards - only a few more days until we drop a faster, sexier, share-ier (hint, hint) OneRiot. Until then, suspense be damned (see also: redirect), but it’ll be worth it!
