Social Search Engines (Searching for the Latest Buzz on the Web)

Like a lot of people, Google is the start page for my browser and I use it constantly.

(... too much.)

I google my name (ego-surfing).  I google my friends names.  I google my place of employment and hometown and favorite actors and song lyrics and current news and favorite authors and poems and recipes and on and on and on.  Here are a couple NEW search engines. 


WhosTalkin.com (can also be appropriately called Who Stalkin')

SocialMention.com.


Both search engines are called social search engines because, along with regular news, they also search blogs and social networking web sites like Facebook and Twitter. Both search engines are also fun and quite addicting!   You search on something - for example, Cudahy.  

Your results provide information according to:


  • blogs (what has been blogged about Cudahy)
  • news (formal news articles about Cudahy)
  • pictures (pictures from Cudahy)
  • video (video from Cudahy)

As much as I love Google, I sometimes don't get the results I'm looking for. It's usually too much information and can be frustrating.
