KickApps widgets can parse any Media RSS or Atom feed. In the "Swidget" example, each tab conducts a real time search of YouTube, Flickr and Twitter feeds, for the search term "swine flu."

Wow how have I not heard of this site yet? Pretty awesome with a lot of potential.

Most certainly going to use that in the future.

Thanks!

In retrospect my previous comment came across as too self-promoting. I should have added some context. KickApps widgets can parse any Media RSS or Atom feed. In the "Swidget" example, each tab conducts a real time search of YouTube, Flickr and Twitter feeds, for the search term "swine flu."

Because each of these companies offers their search results via a standard interface (Media RSS) I was able to build this widget in minutes.

I am excited about what you guys are doing (merging all these "real-time" content sources into one index (or at least one interface)) and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with similar feeds from you guys.

Check out the "Swidget" that I just made using the KickApps Widget Studio... it merges photos from Flickr, videos from YouTube and updates from Twitter into one embeddable flash application that is updated in real time.. i posted it on my Facebook profile page, my blog and now here's a link for you to enjoy...
