although i would argue that real-time systems apply to brilliant things like the anti-lock brakes of your car, the term has been all the rage for a while now in the webosphere and that’s why, as of today, new stories will be published instantly on popurls after being made available on the source site (compared to the five-minute lag and if this site meets the requirements). in addition, you’ll immediately find those stories when searching on popurls search.
i’ve revamped the interface of two-year-old popurls.tv, an experimental sub-site that displays the traffic on the popurls network in real-time and lists the most read stories of the hour.
in addition to facebook, twitter, et al. you can now seamlessly share to your posterous account via popurls. if you’re logged in, click user > sharing profile and enter your credentials. as soon as you hover over a story and click »share« you’ll instantly find the link on your posterous site. in addtion, you can now use a more secure way to share on twitter without having to enter your username or password.
if you follow the popurls twitter bot you’ll find some occasional stories marked with #positweets – a selection of handpicked links with enjoyable content, which in turn gets aggregated on positweets.com together with tweets from other renowned blogs such as boingboing or trendhunter. special thanks to MINI for supporting popurls and curating this site.
"…it’s the perfect homepage"
i’m happy to announce that popurls is now integrated with jolicloud, the new internet operating system of choice. popurls will run in an exclusive layout for ultra-mobile netbooks that is optimized for smaller screens and the speed of mobile internet connections. more infos on the the jolicloud blog.
