BingTweets is much like Twoquick (that we highlighted weeks ago) in merging a search engine with Twitter search to give broader results. The UI has many little panels, so let me go into some detail. The top right is the main search box The top left is real-time trends for people, places and products. You … Continue reading
Vimey sounded promising when I first got the suggestion to list it. But I was quite confused on how it works. The UI was simple and clean and had categories of types of tweets listed. But from there is fell a bit flat. I checked the tech channel but it seemed it only had a … Continue reading
Scoopler provides more than just a real-time Twitter search since it’s launch in April 2009. It extends out to other social networks. The homepage is a simple search box with trends along the bottom. From their site they talk about how they bring in the data from all over: We aggregate and organize content being … Continue reading
TwoQuick (from the makers of Trendmetr we highlighted yesterday) has another tool that will take any search terms and build a clean 2-column response. The left side is Google and the right Twitter. The Google side is the just the search term highlighted in the results with the appropriate links. The Twitter side is the … Continue reading
Trendmetr watches for search terms against Twitter, instead of watching for trends based on what is being published in hashtags and the like. Three default trends appear on the screen, all of which are editable. You can easily add more meters (yet how to do it took a second to figure out) by clicking the … Continue reading
Twitcaps scans all of Twitter for images and let’s you search, browse or capture them. From the Twitcaps interface, you may capture an image for later use, re-tweet the image on your own Twitter feed, or share the image on any number of social linking services. Twitcaps currently supports ~7 of the image serving services … Continue reading
TweetTabs is a slick web interface for on the fly trend tracking and searches. New tabs pop up across the interface, much like TweetDeck would be on the web. I liked it immediately and found value when trying to watch information about a conference in near real-time without killing your own API limit. They give … Continue reading
Tweepfind (not to be confused with TweeFind we did here in April) wants you to enter tags that will return results of people to follow. I tested with a large conference name and got back an ad. Yes, I said it. An advertisement. Sure it allowed me to follow all the results, the ad. It … Continue reading
Topsy has such a simple homepage that leaves you wondering is this thing too simple? But what you get after inputting the search term is a clean UI with some useful and threaded information. I entered the term IdoNotes to see what would get spit out and was surprised to see not only information, but … Continue reading
Has there been a time you wanted to search Google and Twitter together? The beta site Twootles provides this service. I did a sample search for TheSocialGeeks+podcast to see how it reacted and it did a decent job. There are Google ads at the top and the the rest is a Google Custom Search. It … Continue reading
