OneRiot helps you find the news, stories and videos that the social web is buzzing about right now. There is a firehose of realtime information on the social web, and we aim to make sense of that by filtering through the noise and spam to find the most socially-relevant web content related to your search query. We do that with a realtime ranking algorithm we call “Pulse Rank” (think of this as “Page Rank for the realtime web.” More on this to come…). Uniquely, we also rank our results at search time, to give you the most socially relevant results, right now.
Our “Pulse Rank” algorithm looks at dozens of factors that give “weight” to certain results. We made a couple of changes to our algorithm today, to improve those results even further.
Some of the questions we’ve asked ourselves during this process include:
• Freshness: Is the most recently published content necessarily the most relevant?
• Domain Authority: Just because I’ve published a post on my own personal blog about Obama, should that be weighted more highly than a post from, say, the New York Times, on the same subject published at the same time?
• People Authority: Who is sharing this link on the social web? Are they known spammers who pummel their social graph with the same link many times a day, or are they more thoughtful sharers whose links tend to get retweeted and dugg?
• Acceleration: Is this page increasing in hotness or decreasing in hotness? Are more people sharing the link right now than they were 2 minutes ago? How can you detect an “emerging” webpage vs a popular one that everyone already knows about?
We’re also getting a lot of leverage from our Artificial Intelligence systems that constantly “learn” how to improve the way we rank results.
Here’s a great example. This is a search on ‘Iran’ on OneRiot, ordered by Pulse Rank. You get the top news that people are sharing right now, the top Youtube video people are watching, and the top opinion out there right now what’s going to happen next.
OneRiot also allows you to see the Firehose of content as it comes into the system. Below is a search on ‘Iran’, but this time it is not ordered by Pulse Rank, but is simply time-based – the FireHose. If it came in most recently, it’s at the top of the list. You can see that the results do include one top news article, but also an old Youtube video about McCain and Iran that someone just republished, and something with only one share (comments on CNN.com). It did come in recently, but it simply doesn’t compare to ordering by Pulse Rank.
Bottomline: with Pulse Rank, the end result to you, the user, should be better results – the most socially relevant content on the web, related to your search query, should be the top result. Give it a spin, and let us know what you think.

Guys,
Open source the algorith. Put it in the public domain. Do it now. Not tomorrow. Now.
Or do you think you’ve got some kind of sustainable closed source advantage?!

[...] OneRiot团队推出自己的实时搜索引擎，他们是如何解决上面的两个问题的呢？对于他们来说，他们采用一种新的方式去索引网页信息：主要针对于重要的实时社会网络。传统的搜索引擎爬去的数据主要是来自己已经有的网页中的链接的数据或者是人工手动添加的链接的数据。但是这两年以来，由于像facebook,twitter和饭否这样的实时信息社会网络共享的数据连接越来越多，OneRiot采取的一种方式就是分析从社会网络实时分享的数据链接来获取数据，并对数据进行索引。社会网络上的实时数据链接代表着大家在正在讨论什么？而链接中的数据就是关于讨论话题的网页内容信息和其他数据信息。这种方式是一种或者建立索引数据的新方法，当然他们还给用户提交了需要索引的网页的接口。对于OneRiot来说，他们对搜索结果中首先加入了搜索的结果离现在的时间是多久，另外一个就是对搜索结果又一个新的排序算法Pulse Rank，这种算法对于给搜索结果权重的计算考虑了多种因素： [...]
