New Social Media Search Tool To Get You Talking
A new social media search tool has recently launched in public beta called WhosTalkin.
The tools creator, Joe Hall says the new tool is, “a social media search tool that allows users to search for conversations surrounding topics that they care most about.”
The service distinguishes itself from other similar tools by aggregating results from over 60 different services on the Internet. “There is no other social media search tool online that aggregates data from this many sources,” says Hall.
The tool’s goal is to present the most relevant and current conversations happening in the world of social media. Hall says that the content freshness is one of the most important aspects of the tool’s search results.
“We are trying to connect people around similar ideas that they can engage in, so therefore we are interested in finding the freshest conversations in social media.”
Hall recruited around a dozen well known people in the search industry to take part in the private beta launch of WhosTalkin.
“We were real fortunate to have some industry all-stars sit in and give some great advice on the tool,” Hall says.
The tool is free to use, but Hall says that the long-term plan includes offering a separate subscription based service that will give users access to a number of other tools for a monthly price.
“We intend to always keep the basic functions free, however we will be offering a subscription service designed for small and medium sized business in the coming months,” says Hall.

I’m excited of this stuff, this is very helpful especially if you are doing some social research. Is it really free? I can’t believe that they are giving this for free, because it will be a hit on market.

This is a really good search engine. I just checked it out and I like it. I really like how you can search in myspace, facebook, LinkedIn without having to go to the individual websites. Good idea!!!
