A search engine powered by tweets.

The Basics

Topsy is an online search tool that allows you to see how often a Twitter author has been re-tweeted. This is a useful measure of ‘authority’, similar to page rank. It also provides a way of searching information and connecting to the authors of various topics.

What They Say

Topsy sees that people in every community are connected in a web of relationships, where each person influences other people to read, talk and think about things.

Pros

Topsy has a simple interface and is easy to use. It provides more information than a comparable Google search. Results are categorized by time conveying a sense of relevance.

Cons

Not real time. One more tool to use.
