Get those creative juices flowing! OneRiot – a realtime Internet search engine – is offering $1,500 to the person who can deliver the most compelling data visualization of the transfer of realtime data.
The relevance of realtime information expands with the use of Twitter, Digg, and other social sharing services. OneRiot believes that some of the most interesting web content is inaccessible via standard search engines, and has developed a service capable of indexing realtime content within seconds. But how can we visualize this process? How can we wrap our minds around “the (currently) invisible travels of realtime data?”
OneRiot is looking for a creative and captivating depiction of this process, and there is currently no deadline set. Potential solvers can gain API access here. For a bit of inspiration, have a look at webdesignerdepot.com’s 50 Great Examples of Data Visualization.
