Jon and Kate Plus Eight Minus Jon
9/29/09Bad news, Ed Hardy fans: it’s been scientifically (read: conditionally) proven (read: suggested) that wearing the brand 24/7 will ruin your career. At least, that’s what it—coupled with a series of other bad decisions—did for Jon Gosselin. The horrific fashion victim, best known for his appearances on the reality program Jon and Kate Plus [...]

Imma Let U Finish But Kim Was the Most Famous Kardashian of ALL TIME
9/24/09It’s kind of unfair: pro basketball players are typically ginormous, but they’re always hanging out with diminutive cheerleaders, models and actresses. While we fully support the concept of giving the spoils to the victors (did you see our sweet news coverage, by the way?), it’s nice to know that at least one monolithic baller is [...]

Wonderful. So OneRiot captures the most irrelevant, uninformed, drivel from across what is already a sea of celebrity garbage and “user-generated” non-sense? And they do it in REAL TIME? Yeah, that company is going to survive….
Who greenlights the VC on these things anyway?
User-generated is not nonsense. In fact, it makes the web go round. Just sayin’.
Still, we won’t deny that there is a good deal of “drivel” in the realtime web. That’s why we index the content behind links, not just the conversations happening around them, and run that content through a ranking algorithm. So, by the time it land on our search results pages (37 seconds, thankyouverymuch) it isn’t garbage - it’s the content you should be reading, because everyone else is buzzing about it.
Then again, if you’re the textbook type, I’d stick to normal search engines
Great explanation…Love it
