Collecta Powers Real-Time Search for Identi.ca
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Nov 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Collecta, the streaming real-time search company that has been
accelerating the pace of Internet search, announced that its new Site
Search Platform is powering real-time search for Identi.ca, an
open-source micro-blogging service. Through Collecta's technology,
Identi.ca users can keep pace with the real-time comments, trends,
and news coursing through the social network every minute.
Through real-time search, Identi.ca users can track reactions and
discussions on the latest NBA trade, breaking news about health care
reform, or any other topic or area of interest. Everyone can see
Collecta's site search in action on Identi.ca by visiting
http://search.identi.ca to search the social network.
Collecta's XMPP-based platform shoots information to users the
instant it is published. As a result, users have the power to view a
continuously updating stream of results without having to hit refresh
or restart their query.
"Real-time search is a window into the heart of the social network.
It reveals the vibrancy of the network, community, and conversations
to both users and outside observers," said Collecta CEO Gerry
Campbell. "Through streaming search, users see a deeper, more complex
view of what's taking place on both that social network and in the
world right now."
"We've been working with Collecta since before they launched to make
Identi.ca data more accessible to everyone. We're happy to be able to
use the same platform to bring the real-time search experience back to
our own users," said Identi.ca and StatusNet founder Evan Prodromou.
"Collecta's Site Search Platform allows publishers and social
networks to transform their own content and data. The result is not a
static set of results, but a live view into their flow of activity,"
Collecta CTO Jack Moffitt commented.
The Collecta Site Search Platform is now available, enabling any
social network, news publisher, sports or entertainment site to
implement real-time search and provide the same level of accessibility
and transparency for their site and users.
