Interesting, but from all those services I couldn’t find any that has an open API, does one exist?

Erick,

Is it at all possible to put these discussion trackers in a matrix comparing their strengths and weaknesses?

Eric – Having access to a live conversational search seem to be gaining in importance. At Samepoint, we’ve had a live search for a while, which does include blog posts, in addition to Twitter stream, etc. You can check it out here: http://www.same...m/real-time.php

Hi Christian,
The first batch of results is ordered by relevancy to the query. If you keep the results page open you will be updated with new discussions. We are still tweaking the algorithm for relevancy in Omgili Stream since the data is only from the past 48 hours (unlike with the main Omgili Site (omgili.com). I can tell you that the relevancy is determined by many factors such as the number of replies, engaged users participating, the forum and board itself etc…
Omgili Stream is still in early Beta so as I said it is still under tweaking…

Hi Chris,
The first results batch is ordered by relevancy, Relevancy is determined by many factors from the number of replies, where the keywords appear (what reply or topic) and some other authority factors.
Regarding the comprehensiveness – the sources we scan are mostly message boards and other discussion based platforms, not blogs. The type of information of those platform is a bit different than Blogs. That is the reason searching for major Blog related keywords may not return many results for the past 48 hours. However searching on the main Omgili (omgili.com) site for topics will return much more discussions with overall millions of post.

About the colour-scheme well what you gonna do…

I too “really want to know is what are the most important or influential discussions going on about any given topic.” What app or apps are you using now to accomplish that?

Hey Erick,

Thanks for mentioning Radian6. We’re definitely proponents of pulling in as many aspects of a conversation as possible, especially comments, as the full 360-degree view of online discussion is critical.

Thanks for always putting forth such thorough and thoughtful content about this fast-moving space.

Cheers,

Not sure about the presentation nor (as Harsha alludes to) the comprehensiveness of the results.

Is the top result meant to be the most relevant, or from the most powerful source, or the latest comment?

Also, that’s one nasty-ass colour scheme.

Any guesses as to the revenue stream, or is it simply an Adsense play?

WTF??? Yet another 2.0 bullsh** startup. I have no clue what the results mean. You’re telling me there are only 4 discussions taking place about “techcrunch”.
