Topsy, Tweet Search Engine

Topsy is a search engine that is powered by tweets. Browse through the web, photos, tweets, experts and see what is trending on Twitter.

Could Topsy be the death of Google? If the world is continually updating their Twitter accounts more than actual web content, then which service has more pulse on latest trends impacting the world? The fact is that Twitter is part of the web so Google will find it, but isn””t Topsy mainlining the stream?
