Critical parameters include the number of links to which a URL is connected, and the speed, or "velocity," with which that number of links has climbed within the two previous minutes.http://venturebeat.com/2009/05/12/oneriot-lets-you-search-for-spock-in-realtime/ OneRiot also has an API with which its service can be integrated into browsers, other site, social web applications, and more.
