How many times have you reeaalllyyy needed to stalk an ex or a back stabbing friend and said to yourself “Gosh, I wish there was a place where I could search for what they’re saying about me…” Well friends, backtype just might be that place.
From the website’s own description, Backtype.com is a real-time, “conversational search engine”. They index entire conversations from blogs and social networks like Twitter. Backtype allows you to search specifically for what people are saying about certain topics and people.
This is definitely not your grandma’s search engine so you wouldn’t want to compare it to Google or Yahoo. Its purpose is entirely different from traditional search engines. Your search results will only contain tweets, comments, and other social network chatter. Gossip queens beware. If that’s not enough for you, they also give you additional stalking powers by allowing you to register on backtype’s own social network and follow thousands of other users.
You can certainly tell backtype hasn’t been able to index most of the web like Google has, but we think the idea is brilliant. What better way to waste your time online than to follow gossip?
