We're doing a lot of work on realtime web ranking algorithms to get the most relevant realtime results to you fast (http://blog.oneriot.com/content/2009/06/oneriot-pulse-rank) but there's also huge value in the realtime "firehose" approach of Collecta. It's a fast-moving and innovative space, so keep watching :) Tobias @ OneRiot hey SixStorm, i work at OneRiot so i’d argue with realtime search being “completely useless” ;-) Industry figures show that 20-40% of searches display some intent that would be best served by results from the realtime web (e.g. when you are trying to find out what’s going on right now concerning Iran).

Someone remember Cuil? The only search engine that may compete Google in a mid or long-term period is Bing. Period. Yeah real-time results are great, but they are totally irrelevant. Searching takes 2 minutes and all you finally get is some totally stupid results that are most of the time related to twitter. Completely useless. Traditional search engines are the way to go.
