Top 100 Real-Time Web Companies

Written by Richard MacManus / October 13, 2009 8:00 AM / 29 Comments

As part of the lead-up to our inaugural event this Thursday 15th October, The ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit, we're pleased to announce our list of the top 100 Real-Time Web companies. A couple of weeks ago we posted our top 50. Thanks to the comments on that post and messages we received in the days after, we discovered 50 more companies!

The Top 100 is now categorized, making it easier to understand and spot trends from. We'd like to give a huge thanks to William Mougayar of Eqentia, who helped us develop the list and the categories.

A reminder that the ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit is happening 15th October in Mountain View, California. Many of the ReadWriteWeb team will be there, so we look forward to meeting and talking with you all! You can register here for the low price of $270.

  2. For real-time sports news, buzztap.com covers more dedicated sources than any other sports-content aggregation site.

  3. I thought real time is only used for search.

    Posted by: Young | October 13, 2009 8:45 AM



  4. presentlyapp.com

  5. I recommend HelpdeskOnTwitter ( http://helpdeskontwitter.com ), a multiuser twitter client for companies doing customer service on Twitter. It groups individual tweets into conversation (like Gmail does for email) and includes a ticket system for team collaboration.

  6. What about Viralheat? Http://www.viralheat.com

    real-time analytics on Social media.

  7. Wow, no Twicsy? Where is the love for the world's number one Twitter Picture Search Engine?

    Posted by: dave | October 13, 2009 10:41 AM



  9. Well, if you are mentioning ubervu, social mention and monitter, then you should include YackTrack as well.

  10. FYI,

    The link to Threadsy points to http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/Threadsy and not to http://www.threadsy.com/

  13. MySpace definitely needs to be here :P
    We are one of the largest providers of the real time stream

  14. under Analytics, Twitalyzer

     Posted by: Jeff Katz Author Profile Page | October 13, 2009 1:44 PM



  15. Nice list, really thought www.twitterhawk.com might have made it to the list as the only real time targeted marketing engine... considering the whole marketing industry was left out

     Posted by: Twit Hawk Author Profile Page | October 13, 2009 3:03 PM



  16. www.lingospot.com leader in Topic > NLP

     Posted by: Dino J Author Profile Page | October 13, 2009 3:44 PM



  17. wait, no popurls.com ?

    Posted by: AJS | October 13, 2009 4:42 PM



  18. Yep, I agree, Viralheat has hundreds of brands on there watching the realtime web, where is it on this list? L-A-M-E

    Posted by: Sam Dolen | October 13, 2009 11:59 PM



  19. I like fwix.

    Posted by: Bolts | October 14, 2009 12:41 AM



  20. What about visiting companies on your website in real-time?
    http://www.leadsexplorer.com/en/le/Real-time-Internet-visitor-customer-intelligence.html
    For lead generation, customer retention, monitoring nurturng.

  21. If Yelp has a place, then Qype.com must have one. Qype is the leading local business review site in Europe, with 15M MU.


     Posted by: Emmanuel Marchal Author Profile Page | October 14, 2009 3:49 AM



  22. Great list. However, surprised www.samepoint.com went under your radar. We were one of the first out with real-time search.

    Posted by: Richard Krueger | October 14, 2009 6:49 AM



  23. I haven't heard of most of these companies. What's the difference between analytics and web monitoring. Woopra is definitely analytics AND monitoring.

    And Monitter is more monitoring than vanilla "social media".

     Posted by: Daniel Dessinger Author Profile Page | October 17, 2009 7:40 PM



  24. Skytide should be included in the analytics category.

    Posted by: Patrick | October 18, 2009 6:18 PM



  25. Great to see some Canadian companies on the list :)

    Posted by: Rachna | October 19, 2009 8:44 AM



  26. You forgot to include the real time news reader NewsCombined.com . It is real time.

    Posted by: Jack Smith | October 23, 2009 6:29 AM



  27. i remember you covering http://www.Redux.com a ways back... why isn't that included?

    Posted by: Brent | October 26, 2009 11:08 AM



  28. Surprised that Zopim.com isn't on this list...

     Posted by: ★ Garry Huang ★ Author Profile Page | November 16, 2009 1:36 PM



  29. Is there is a reason why the real-time, semantic, social search engine TipTop at http://FeelTipTop.com is not worthy of being mentioned in this long list?
