Introducing RiotFeeds

8/19/09 - Posted by Tobias Peggs under Featured, Industry, OneRiot News

Today OneRiot is rolling out RiotFeeds, a new way to easily discover the freshest information on your favorite topics using your Twitter account. For tweeting newbies and veterans alike, finding interesting and relevant information can sometimes be a challenge, but with RiotFeeds, you’ll discover the web’s best related news, stories and videos - all within a single source.

Today’s launch features 20 RiotFeeds, each of which was developed with a specific user in mind. From Gadgets to Mommyhood to Green Living, each feed represents a hand-curated selection of the web’s best related websites, delivering only the juiciest content from each. Follow a RiotFeed, and OneRiot will deliver its related content right to your twitter stream. This is supported by OneRiot’s PulseRank, a realtime ranking algorithm that determines a webpage’s social relevance in seconds.

Our first set of RiotFeeds are available here, and we’re anxious to hear what you think about them. If you’d like to request a special RiotFeed for your particular industry, hobby, company or organization, just send us a shout on Twitter - we’d love to help you create something customized.

If you’re a developer interested in building applications that leverage OneRiot’s realtime web search data, read up on our API. That’s what powered this project, and it can power yours too…
