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
• Tweepsearch twitter profile and bio search by keywords
• Twitstat searches and also shows search trends
• Twitter Search (formerly Summize) isTwitter's own search engine, and the advanced version is very robust
• Backtweets : enter a URL and it finds Tweets that linked to it.
• Mr. Tweet recommends people to follow, communities to join, communities your friends and followers are in, and hot topics in communities.
• Tweetmi displays the most active Twitterers and top stories from the people you follow. So it's a personalized aggregation of your feed, displaying the the real-time conversation.
• One Riot is a real-time search engine that crawls the links people share on Twitter, Digg and other social sharing services, matches them to trending topics on Twitter or ones you search.
• Collecta does a real-time meta search on topics you choose, and, unlike most other search tools, saves your searches for future use.
