XLHit.com - Translated Twitter & FriendFeed Search

As the title of the review denotes, this new tool will let you search conversations taking place in two of the most popular social services as of late, namely Twitter and FriendFeed. This search tool has the distinct advantage of letting you carry out real time translations into any language of your choice. That is, using the provided drop down boxes you will be able to choose both the source language and the language you wish the text to be translated into (the “Target language” in translation jargon).

A nice feature is that you are always provided with the original texts. In practice, this means that if anything sounds strange or looks out of place and you have a basic understanding of the language in question you will be able to figure out yourself what has gone amiss.

This project has just launched, and it will be interesting to see which direction it heads to from here. If you have any ideas of your own, remember that you can contact the team behind it at feedback@xlhit.com and let them what you think that way.

“XLHit lets you search Twitter and FriendFeed in any language, even if you don’t read or write it! Just type in your search query, choose your own language, choose the language you want to search, and search away!”

Because it can give anybody broader access to the world of Twitter and FriendFeed as a whole.

Are other social services going to be supported sometime soon?
