Social Media Search Tools

Here are some of the tools and apps I like for social media search. Got others?

• Twitseek: enter a URL, hashtag or keyword and it finds Tweets related to them
Hashtags.org tracks #hastags and also trends each one and shows you most popular ones

• Poll Everywhere lets you poll by SMS, Twitter or the Web in real-time. It replaces clunky audience response hardware at events and lets people use their phones to respond.
• Kikin kills me! It augments Google searches with relevant information from my social media contacts. So, if I'm shopping, I can get opinions, prices, see reviews and more, without ever leaving the product page. There's a good review on Techcrunch.
• Tweetscan Twitter search tool that updates every second and will send you emails when your keywords are mentioned, or let you back up your Twitter stream, which Twitter purges regularly
• Twitscoop searches and tracks search terms, can create a graph of results if there's enough data. It'll show the trend for your keyword activity/popularity
