Yeah. Soon I can imagine a time when we could talk to each other online in real time. Like twitter but without a delay. But maybe that's a couple of years off.
Or some sort of instantaneous messaging or how about a telephonic device that transmits voice over copper lines (or even wirelessly) or perhaps meeting someone for a malted beverage at a public house of some sort.
This is a fun game to play, actually, any time a new technology is introduced.
Imagine the new technology was invented first, and the old technology is actually the new challenger. What are the advantages and benefits of the old technology you can promote over the new one?
this is a tradition in the Emacs community: for each release, they publish "antinews", e.g.:
> For those users who live backwards in time,
> here is information about downgrading to
> Emacs version 21.4. We hope you will enjoy
> the greater simplicity that results from the

Does mibbit or chatterous or an Instant message client allow for search of conversations? If not I think all chat clients should make an API to search data, especially links shared in email & chat clients!
I have one question, are they consuming other companies search API, let’s say Twitter or are they crawling and aggregate their own data? Either way it’s a great job!
Is this truly crawling the sites, or querying each site's search service?
e.g. for Twitter, are you crawling all the Twitter users' URLs (seems difficult to do - how do you find new accounts' URLs?), or are you fetching results from search.twitter.com ?
Yes Google is pretty fast for newly published static content. However, it's difficult to use for events happening right now. From the feedback we've got, people like real-time results because its engaging and effortless, a little like watching TV.
This is really cool - congrats. I'd really like to see google-trend-like features but on much shorter time scales. Even a weekly-zeitgeist tied to news stories instead of having to wait for the end of year.
Cool. I'll take a note of that using Snipd, upload it to Scribd, then post it to Reddit, then tell my friends to upvote me using Heysan or maybe Chatterous. It depends on whether I'll have enough time, since I'm always playing on DraftMix.
"One element that’s really nice, is the Peek feature, which allows you to take a look at pages being linked to in an overlay on top of the results, so you don’t have to visit the actual page."
Real-Time news for the writer: you actually visit the page. It's an iframe...
In the old days, there was something called target attribute. Neat when the target is not iframe friendly.

In its current form, most of the results are from Twitter which doesn't really differentiate it much from Twitter Search.
Anyway, good luck with Scoopler. :P
