Source A Look At 4 Realtime Search Engines
Realtime search seems to be one of the buzzwords of the year. Many search engines have plans to include realtime search in their search results. Microsoft's search engine Bing already does include Twitter results in search results pages. Quite a few realtime search engines are already accessible on the Internet and this article will take a closer look at four of them: Feedmil, Oneriot, Scoopler and Collecta.
All of these realtime search engines have in common that they retrieve data from various sources upon the user's request. The data is usually fetched from services such as Twitter or Friendfeed but also from blogs, social media sites and podcasts. Differences mainly exist in the way the results are presented to the user and the filtering options that are provided.
