Zibb Business Search Goes Realtime

10/07/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry, OneRiot News

picture-740Today Reed Business Information used OneRiot’s API to add realtime results to the search pages at Zibb.com, adding another layer of relevancy to their industry-specific search results.

Say, for example, I’m a Typographer, and I want to get a broad sense for the state of my industry as a whole. A traditional search engine would give me this (basically answering the question: what is typography?) but a search on Zibb will open several interesting windows. What’s the latest typography news? What are my competitors up to? What is my industry buzzing about today (cue OneRiot!).

The layer of information that realtime results are adding to this customized search environment is exciting, and we’re thrilled about this amazing use of our API. Congrats to Zibb on their successful launch - we can’t wait to see what Reed properties this lands on next!

Introducing The OneRiot Developer Network

9/23/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under OneRiot News

Today OneRiot launched OneRiot Developer Network, a new website built specifically for the OneRiot API partner community.

OneRiot Developer Network will serve as a place for third party developer to get started with our popular API, ask questions, connect with the OneRiot API team, and engage with their fellow developers. It will also be a great place to check out the many ways our current partners have integrated realtime information into their sites, social applications, search engines, and data visualizations.

At the helm of ORDN is Robert Reich, co-founder of OneRiot and founder of Add-On-Con, the first and only conference dedicated to browser add-on developers. Robert speaks for everyone at OneRiot when he says the goal of ORDN is to provide developers with the tools, help and guidance they need for creative and successful implementations of the OneRiot realtime search API, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store (the last time Robert stepped in to lead a community, it became the third largest Meetup in the country - so our developers are in good hands).

Alongside OneRiot Developer Network, we’re excited to announce a six great new additions to the OneRiot search partner program. All of these players used the OneRiot API to add some killer features to their sites, apps or search engines - check them out!

OneRiot + Digsby // Haiku Mimobot Giveaway

8/12/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry

digsbyDigsby, one of the web’s most popular IM clients, just released a sparkly new version - one that brings exciting realtime features to over one million users thanks to partnerships with OneRiot and Myspace. Now, using MySpace ID and OneRiot realtime search, Digsby fans have immediate access to the content their friends are buzzing about, and even easier ways to share it.

picture-2219 We’re really excited about this partnership, so we decided to celebrate with a giveaway - a mimobot giveaway. If you’ve ever prayed for a 2G flash drive that doubles as an art toy and triples as a death-ray shooting soldier in your elaborate Star Wars battle recreations, today is your lucky day - here’s how you get one:

Using your Twitter account (non-Tweeters, just leave us a comment), compose a haiku in honor of OneRiot and Digsby. (Be sure to use both “OneRiot” and “Digsby” in your haiku - that’s how we’ll find you.)

Here’s an example: OneRiot and Digsby, pour awesome everywhere, addicted i.m.

picture-2117If your haiku kicks the other haiku’s butts, we’ll send you a 2G mimobot to protect your most top secret files. We’re giving away two of these bad boys, so head to Twitter, wax poetic then check back here tomorrow for an update on our winners. While you’re anxiously waiting, you can check the full details on the new Digsby release by heading over this way or by keeping an eye on the Digsby blog.

Good luck, poets!

EventBox Introduces OneRiot Realtime Search (Giveaway!)

7/27/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under OneRiot News

UPDATE: Commenters who didn’t leave contact info, please email chagen AT oneriot DOT com so we can hand over the details!

picture-266

That’s the EventBox logo. Pretty awesome, huh? Kind of like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Reddit and a bunch of other good stuff climbed into into the same jacuzzi, wrapped themselves up like a birthday present, then threw a party. Well, guess who just joined the bubbles? (A foam party - wheee!)… OneRiot!

We’re thrilled to be the new realtime search provider for EventBox, because this social network consolidator is sexy to look at, simple to use, and is big in the UK - which counts for way more than being big somewhere else, like Tuscon.

In addition to allowing users to consolidate their social network activity into a seriously beautiful user interface, Eventbox offers other nice perks - stuff like integrated photo viewing, non-invasive message alerts, and a constantly growing line-up of supported networks. Now, thanks to today’s OneRiot integration, users can also find the freshest, most buzzed about content on the realtime web within EventBox - so those soc net addicts can just keep on chattering.

Eventbox is normally a fifteen-dollar download (while in beta), but we have a few exclusive invites for the OneRiot community… want one?

eventbox

We’ll need your Twitter name or your email address to send you the download codes, so be sure to include that in your comment - thanks!

Yoono What We’re Up To*

6/30/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry, OneRiot News

OneRiot is a search engine built on sharing - specifically the passing of good information between friends. So, it makes sense that the yoosers of Yoono, a popular tool that allows users of multiple social networks to consolidate and manage their online social interactions, would love the added perks of realtime search. And as of today, they’ll have it on hand.

Realtime search will allow Yoosers to discover the freshest, most chattered about content on the web, then do what they do best - share it with their buddies!

picture-1028

Yoono 6.1, which just dropped this morning, is a super-fresh version of this five-star recommended add-on. Offering a prettified and simplified user interface, and support for the latest APIs from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, Yoono 6 will further boost users’ standard ability to easily share pages, images, or videos from their browser across all their networks at once. The addition of realtime search into the mix will allow those same users to discover the freshest, most chattered about content on the web right in the app, then do what they do best - share it with their buddies!

We’re so pumped to have found another great Search Program Partner in Yoono - and we can’t wait to hear what their drooly fans (seriously - people love Yoono like marshmallows love rice krispies) think about us. If you’re not already using it, get on it - you can learn more about it and download for Firefox (IE coming soon!) here. Once you’re booted up, talk to us about it by dropping a comment, or reaching out to us on twitter at @OneRiot or @Yoono – we can’t wait to here what you think!
