Real-time search & social search are both very hot areas at this time. Like in any new, exciting area, a thousand different approaches will be tried but only a few will succeed. I want to bring to your attention the first and only truly semantic search engine that currently works on Twitter data, TipTop, now available in a beta version at FeelTipTop.com TipTop’s powerful engine understands each and every message on Twitter just like a human being would. As a result, it can discover from within the data the very best tweets organized nicely along a variety of categories and concepts learned dynamically. In fact, the entire platform learns from data as data flows through the engine. You can now see in real time the sentiment associated with anything in the world that people are talking about. Please give it a try. We also have a special for Thanksgiving on our site this month which you wouldn’t want to miss.
