Offering users to surf through latest news and find out new search outcomes in real-time, Taptu joined hands with OneRiot to release real-time search for handsets.
Taptu utilizes OneRiot’s real-time search API, integrating the web’s hottest, most talked-about content into Taptu’s mobile-touch friendly interface. Users can now surf the real-time web or leaf through different subjects in a mobile-friendly format for touch screen devices. This affiliation executes the requirement for people to determine real-time content in a user-friendly format.
Steve Ives, founder and CEO of Taptu, commented, “Taptu introduced touch search to meet the specific needs of mobile users, and adding real-time search to this offering is a great feature. For the first time, mobile users will be able to find out what is going on right now in a mobile-friendly format.”
Tobias Peggs, General Manager of OneRiot, stated, “Increasingly, people want constant access to new information – a need that can be even more pressing when on the go. Mobile is an ideal platform for the discovery of real-time information and we are thrilled to partner with Taptu to start offering users the power of real-time search on their mobile devices.”
The service is accessible on chief touch devices, counting the iPhone, iPod touch, G1, Nokia 5800 and N97, and the BlackBerry Storm 1. OneRiot’s real-time results will shortly show up in Taptu’s iPhone app, thereby offering even further functionality for real-time search on handsets. OneRiot’s API enables its partners to organize its real-time, socially-relevant results. Taptu is alleged to be the first mobile search engine to control the company’s API.
The application is at present accessible from Taptu.com.
