OneRiot Gets $7 Million in Series C Funding
By Anna Johnson on August 27th, 2009Realtime search engine, OneRiot, has just secured $7 million in Series C funding led by Appian Ventures, Commonwealth Capital Ventures, and Spark Capital, the company’s existing venture capital firms.
OneRiot, which launched in November 2008, aims to deliver realtime search results ordered according to its PulseRank algorithm – ‘a PageRank for the realtime web’, reflecting the current social ‘buzz’ associated with any content on the web. This buzz is largely associated with the level of sharing and discussion on social sites such as Digg and Twitter.
OneRiot aims to use the additional funding to help the company further enhance its core search product and support its fast-growing partner network.
