We do a lot of great search things here at Zibb. We don't have to be humble about that since 1) no one reads our blog and 2) we really do have a great team building great opportunities for our consumers!
But one thing we do particularly well is to recognize great work when we see it. We are going to start highlighting those great accomplishments of others and providing unasked for feedback and sparkling commentary. When it makes sense and we can work it out we'll also team up with those great achievers to bring their ideas and services into play for our own users and communities.
The first such team up is with our new friends over at OneRiot (http://www.oneriot.com). They launched about a year ago and pretty quickly caught our attention. They focus on "buzzed about" stories using their own PulseRank algorithm and this produces a very unique perspective on any topic. Here at Zibb, using results from our own engine, we can tell you all about Google and Google Wave; oh boy we got news coverage going back to the first announcement of Google's latest gizmo; but what we don't tell you is what the world "thinks" of Google Wave as a whole. We believe that when you add OneRiot's social perspective to our own high-quality, semantically enhanced results, you get something synergistic; better together to benefit our B2B users who need to keep up on both the companies, products and trends in their market.
What now? Well, we're going to keep pushing OneRiot into more places on Zibb.com; we'll talk to the 150+ Zibb On Demand customers who use our search-based products on their own websites and let then in on the action; and as always we'll add a few new and innovative spins in just to keep it interesting. So welcome to Zibb OneRiot! Who's next? We've already integrated a few other search friends, so stay tuned as we continue to build and partner up to create the best B2B vertical search experience. And feel free to talk to us if you think you have something to bring to the table.
