Shareholic Launches Buzz Monitor with OneRiot, Twitter Realtime Search

As I expected, yet another company has teamed up with OneRiot for added realtime search capabilities. Shareaholic, a browser-based content sharing tool, has released a new update called the Shareaholic Buzz Monitor, marking its entry into the realtime realm.

The idea behind the new Buzz Monitor is to offer easier and more readily accessible trending news, from across the web. It’s just another way to offer the instant gratification consumers seemingly crave from web content these days. And this not only encompasses the web content itself, but the ethos surrounding it. What are people saying, and where are they saying it? This all comes together to form a new and momentary glance at what is going on at any given moment.

In order to achieve this, Shareaholic is relying on the infrastructure of its own data-set along with the realtime search capabilities of OneRiot and Twitter. Microblogging platform Twitter has its own influence over the realtime trend, as it is a major catalyst in the growing desire for seeing what people are saying about any given topic at any given time.

Its public nature and bite-sized quips make Twitter content accessible and ideal for instant reactions to given situations. And as OneRiot has expanded the concept of realtime search to include a broader view of the web, it’s become an easily implemented way in which other services can extend realtime search to their users.

Coming from the browser extension perspective, Shareaholic is taking an interesting approach for its merge into realtime search. Combining its existing features with realtime search for buzz tracking broadens the ability for Shareaholic to provide value on multiple levels. From bookmarking, content-sharing and merely tracking news for discovery puroses, Shareaholic is kicking things up a notch, further encouraging users to share interesting content amongst friends and social media sites.

Other updates for Shareaholic include the added support for Su.pr, StumbleUpon’s new URL shortening service, Mozillaca, Hub.tm, Followup.cc, and TBUZZ, a Twitter link-submission tool. There’s also updated support for BzzAgent and Techmeme tip submit code, as well as Songbird 1.2.
