OneRiot: Search Results That Have Real Time Popularity
Alternative search engines seem to be popping up everywhere lately. Oneriot is yet another alt search engine but this one seems to actually provide some useful results. Like most other search engines Oneriot provides basic search results in a basic format. However, unlike other search engines, they prioritise their information based on its current popularity within their community. Popular results are a great idea, cause on Google I’m sick of seeing search results that are sold old they are now just obsolete.
Oneriot pushes our revelant, fresh, friendly and search results with real time energy. When using Oneriot you might notice that there is a search result above the others and this is because of their pulsing service. Pulsing is what they define as a search results that is getting buzz right now. The more real time buzz you get the higher on search results those articles will be and thus more traffic for your site.
Oneriot is a clean and very user friendly search engine that I expect to be hearing more about in the coming years. Im just a little worried about their current revenue model, cause there doesn’t seem to be one.

Thanks, Steven! I work with OneRIot and really appreciate the write-up! Here’s the link for everyone to check out the site: http://www.oneriot.com.
Today OneRiot just came out with Pulse Feeds that let readers subscribe via RSS to their favorite hot topics so perfect timing!
To answer your revenue model question, we have a partnership with Yahoo! to leverage their ad network in the near future.
