The partnership gives Taptu access to OneRiot's API, which has already been implemented in the mobile search experience. Now mobile searchers have the ability to search and discover trending topics, with real-time results, from across the web on their mobile devices.
Taptu's iPhone app will soon be updated to reflect results from OneRiot's API as well.
Right now mobile users have a myriad of options when it comes to accessing "real-time" Twitter search results and trending topics on the iPhone. Taptu's enhanced mobile search, however, isn't limited to just Twitter search and is mobile OS independent, which means most mobile users can now have access to near real-time social search results, or an instantaneous look at content that's amassing buzz.
Taptu's real-time offering appears to be one of the first in the mobile search space. However, since Google is taking measures to speed up their online search results with Google Social Search and their search deal with Twitter, we have every reason to believe that they're working on a faster, more social, mobile search experience as well.
We've included screenshots of the refreshed Taptu mobile search experience below.
