OneRiot Partners Plug Bing into Realtime

6/02/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under OneRiot News

Bet you’ve checked out Bing. Bet you’ve heard all the rumors about what it’s name might mean. Bet you’re kinda into it (and maybe not just secretly).

Bet you wish it had realtime search. Well…

Remember when WebMynd gave us a Firefox extension that placed OneRiot realtime results right next to our Google searches? They just did it again - right in the old Bing Is Not Google-nator. Surf Canyon, another member of our Search Partner Program, is already offering a similarly realtime-ready engine for Firefox and IE, and will have their Bing-able version out soon.

A nice quote from Mark Cramer, CEO of Surf Canyon:

“We are laser focused on improving traditional web search by delivering the most relevant results possible and our partnership with OneRiot is key to that strategy.”

Word up, Mark.

You can nab the WebMynd search extension by going here, and hang tight for the Surf Canyon edition - we’ll share the link as soon as we’ve we’ve got it.

Jon and Kate Plus Eight Minus Jon

Bad news, Ed Hardy fans: it’s been scientifically (read: conditionally) proven (read: suggested) that wearing the brand 24/7 will ruin your career.

Imma Let U Finish But Kim Was the Most Famous Kardashian of ALL TIME

It’s kind of unfair: pro basketball players are typically ginormous, but they’re always hanging out with diminutive cheerleaders, models and actresses.
