During the SMX Keynote today, Microsoft’s head of search Qi Lu fessed up to the intensifying significance of the realtime web. “Recency and freshness is becoming increasingly important,” he mused, and if our hands went from here to Seattle we would have handed that guy the high-five of a lifetime.
Recency and freshness is becoming increasingly important. - Qi Lu, Microsoft Head of Search
…Not that we were shocked to hear Mr. Li say those words (Microsoft’s been pretty keen on realtime for awhile now), it’s just so exciting to watch the subject you love talking about become the subject a lot of people are talking about. And man, do we love talking about realtime search.
Crap, reading that last sentence out loud made us feel geeky. Let’s wrap this post so we can go lift weights or something. Long story short, we just want to say that we really appreciate all of the great sites (and great writers) that have been spreading the word about realtime. It’s words like these (and these!) that help big ideas thrive in small companies. So thanks - and if you ever want to talk realtime search, you know where to find us. That’s right, at the gym.
