High Order Bit: A Conver
summary
A peer-to-peer search system demonstrated as a working prototype that surfaces what people are clicking and sharing in real time, not just crawled pages. Clients install a Wowd browser app that builds an implicit voting signal when users visit public pages, producing a dynamic hot list and results sortable by real-time freshness (minutes) or popularity. The index is federated and redundant across nodes so the team claims low cost and massive scale — designed to handle trillions of distinct data items and hundreds of millions of users while keeping personal identifiers local.
