If you’re in the market for some real-time search results, Collecta offers filtered news, blog comments, images, and more at a really rapid clip.
We’ve covered methods of monitoring real-time searches before, and previously mentioned TweetGrid certainly wins the prize for most parallel search options. Few sites, however, offer the kind of filtering that Collecta does.
Collecta can search Twitter, Identica, and other microblogging services in real time, putting microblog entries are displayed in the central column, while articles and news clippings are displayed on the right. The left column houses the search box and the filter settings, allowing you to drill down to just stories, blog comments, microblog updates, and photos. While you’re searching, you might want to cut down on noise by filtering out re-tweets. If you have a favorite real-time search tool, sound off in the comments below.
