Thread: An impressive new Search Engine

Thanks to BlogHerald.com, I discovered a completely new, yet lovely new Search Engine.

I never saw anything like it before. Unlike Google, this SE crawls conversations within Social websites such as ''Twitter, Blogs, Flickr, Digg, Yelp, Identica''. I guess it has some plugs in other sites too.

Of course it is nothing compared to Google (nothing is...), but I find the concept quite interesting. What are your thoughts on it?

Yes it is a good concept good to catch stuff quickly.

One of my friends saved 150$ with a promo code by using Topsy!

Nope he was wanting it for some marketing course, which was very new so there was nothing on google.

topsy is very cool yes I love the way they collect the data of the shortened urls

I like it. I tried to find some coupons and was very useful.

I'm glad i saw this thread.

Topsy is good for current events and other such things.

I've been using Topsy for a while and it seems to work quite well.

Of course as Nic said it cannot come even close to Google.

Nice search engine. The search results are pretty good.

What is so different about topsy?

I have never used it so I don't know.
