Posted on May 22, 2009 by briansmithmccallum

Caught wind of the upcoming launch of a real-time search tool called Collecta. You must enter your email and sign up to be notified when the site offically goes “live”. Check out these sample search results on the query Obama. Collecta crawls the likes of Twitter, Flickr, WordPress, etc. A metasearcher of the “live Web,” if you will? Here’s the company’s provacative teaser:

“The Web is alive. Why are we still searching like it is 1999?“

Stay tuned!

Now . . . will Google buy Twitter?
