While you can always go to www.OneRiot.com to get fresh, dynamic, and relevant results for your query, there are some search terms that you may want continuous realtime follow up for perhaps weeks or longer.  To make this easy for you, OneRiot offers a “Track This Topic” feature that makes using realtime search even more convenient.

Let’s say, you are and have been a huge LOST fanatic.  You constantly scour the web for the latest spoiler alerts, behind the scene updates, and the answer to the million dollar question: What the hell is up with this island? This isn’t just a one-time-search kinda query–As each week and episode goes by, you want updated information.  Well with “Track This Topic” you can snag a live bookmark that constantly updates with the latest new from LOST.  Anytime you want to catch the latest Island buzz, it’s as simple as clicking your toolbar.

To set up your own OneRiot RSS bookmark, simply do a search for your query and press the orange “track this topic” button.  It will take you to another page, where all you have to do is “subscribe now.”  Presto.  You’re all set to go.  You can set up as many of these term-trackers as you want.  If Twitter is your thing, you can also snag the URL for the RSS page and link it to your Twitter account through sites like TwitterFeed.  (They give step-by-step instructions.)  Realtime results will automatically be updated to your account in 140 characters.  Snazzy, eh?

What (We Think) You’ll Find on Lost

The Story: What kind of twists are the creators of Lost going to throw at us this season?  We’ve got a few guesses.

The Search: LOST Season 6 ABC

American network TV has a method of ensuring that all programs broadcast are quality and stay quality. That’s why terribly written shows like Freaks and Geeks and Arrested Development get canceled and completely original shows like Glee see instant renewal. As long as the people are watching, the show must go on, and nothing keeps people watching like absolute bewilderment (something the public has been addicted to since the rise of 24 hour political news coverage). That’s why the writers of Lost have been scrambling to keep your attention with enough plot twists to choke a smoke monster. With the upcoming sixth season reportedly containing the densest story lines yet, we at OneRiot have started placing bets on occurrences.

It is all Hurley’s dream
This explanation popped up in season 2, episode 18 and never really got much attention, considering it’s probably the most plausible twist the show has come up with. That’s right, the ‘it was all a dream’ gimmick beats out any of the island’s inexplicable logic. The problem with the island is the same problem atheists have with the scriptural god: if it’s so mysterious and powerful, then why  is it so emotional? An island that transcends time and space probably shouldn’t care about which whiny humans are actually living on it, and likely wouldn’t bend things around in the real world to get the ones who left back. I mean, why did it want Ben back? That guy sucks. Odds: 8 to 1. (more…)
