tutorial for a new social media search engine I want to try out
-
Collecta, a new real-time search engine, went live in beta on June 18th.They intro themselves on their homepage by saying “The web is alive with real-time information. So why search a stale archive? Collecta monitors the update streams of news sites, popular blogs and social media, and Flickr, so we can show you results as they happen.” This is ambitious stuff at a time when real-time is the buzzword in both search and social media circles.
To find out more about Collecta I asked their CEO, Gerry Campbell, to answer our patented 5 Questions.

For those willing to dig around, searching for search engines can reveal a treasure trove: The net is rich with specialized search services, all trying to find a way to get their slice of the billions of dollars Google makes every year answering queries.
For this article, we surveyed some 50 specialty search services and picked out our favorites. What follows is not a systematic ranking or review, but a general guide to a very vibrant world that few have bothered to explore in depth.

Yet another example of a missed opportunity with Mark Sanford coverage. The missing context is that most people who are partnered/married are only *ostensibly* emotionally/sexually monogamous. The fact that he had a relationship outside his marriage or "crossed other lines" is not surprising, and not news. The news is the hypocrisy of a public representative who made a point of proclaiming "traditional family values" which he chose to flout, while lying to his spouse, staff, and others. The compromised integrity of an elected leader is the story, not the salacious details of his romance.
AP is trying to titillate with this story, which is only a distraction, not an exploration. Poor journalism.

"In California, state finance officials will begin issuing IOUs on Thursday if lawmakers and the governor cannot agree on a way to close a $24-billion shortfall. The IOUs would go to local governments, vendors, taxpayers and college students receiving state financial aid. California has issued such IOUs only one other time — in 1992 — since the Great Depression."
