For huge dinosaur operations like the Yahoo’s, Google and Microsoft’s it takes a while before they respond or any changes are made, innovation becomes difficult due to the size of these companies. Smaller companies can innovate and release new features very quickly. Take Afrigator as an example, during the recent Xenephobia crisis in South Africa they launched the <A href="http://afrigator.com/topics/xenophobia">hot topic</A> feature which aggregated all media that was tagged with Xenephobia. The feature also provides stats and a graphical view on the number of posts and presumably it could also be modified in the future to feature any other hot topic.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/835CC51C-9E98-43D2-B214-402C1A3AFA95/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
