A ‘real-time’ search engine to index social media postings

Google has been dominating search engine market for eternity. The world’s top search engine player continues to maintain its ascendancy and supremacy. Of course, many new players still enter the fray to try their luck and gain from the expanding scope of search engine market. The world’s latest ‘real-time’ search engine, termed Scoopler, points to this trend.

Scoopler may just add a much needed, specialized search functionality. It is aimed at providing a tool to locate new content on social media websites other search engines fail to find and collate in a timely fashion. The new ‘real-time’ search engine is now available, albeit in experimental mode.

When making use of standard search engines, the indexing platforms often cannot bring up ‘real-time’ content. It takes a while for them to index social media postings. On the other hand, Scoopler will focus solely on indexing fresh content from popular social media sites. As a result, live updates from Twitter, Flickr, Delicious, Digg, and others will get updated in Scoopler’s indexing algorithms on a regular basis. It will even provide links, photos and videos from the social media sites.

Scoopler will focus on up-to-the-minute content that is added to social networking sites, providing a comprehensive and updated search on a particular theme or subject. Scoopler is currently in a beta version.
