Flaptor, whose flagship product Hounder, provides users with an unparalleled search and data mining capability, have recently launched a real time search engine for Twitter. The Twitter Search page consists of a simple search bar that reaps incredibly rapid results. The engine is designed to allow users to search “tweets” in real time for any term they can think of. A test search for the term “Obama” brought back over 600 tweets with a time delay of about 10-minutes. While it sometimes appears that there are more Twitter apps currently underdevelopment than people to develop them, Twitter Search is a great tool for instantly checking the buzz surrounding anything. A similar search for Hillary only brought back 225 results with a delay of 4-minutes—can we draw any conclusions from this?
