Tweefind - The Market Problem
It’s time to re-think search sources: not only websites/blogs tons of useful news shared on Twitter,
Friendfeed etc. information, images, videos shared on Facebook
etc. people talk and chat about topics that can
become trends need a way to assign a “rank” to social
networks’ users need a way to aggregate all this information
