If you are bored or unsatisfied with the results displayed by the twitter official Search Engine, then you can try the other real time search engines. Here i collected some list of real-time search engine, which works as alternate to the Twitter Search.

2. Nsyght

3. Twazzup

It has unique way of Displaying Result� :)

4. Scoopler

All similarities of Twitter is Available over FormSpring.Me like changing Themes, Following button, Profile Pic, Uploaded background but the working is not at all like microblogging. After the increase of Twitter lovers, there many new microblogging site launched like identi.ca and others but they didn't gained much popularity coz these all are the same concept and works same!

I must say you that formspring is very different from the Twitter service and is totally works on different concept. It is a site where users can ask their question to any users registered and the user can answer their question without emailing him.

To grab his answers, he need to come to that profile page later to see his Answers along with the Question Publicly!

FormSpring is too having a Widget to put it on your blog, where the users can ask question to you directly from the sidebar without visiting the contact page. I suggest you to try this site once and i am sure that if you like Twitter then you enjoy this site! :)

Tweeting over Twitter is common to hear on everyone's mouth and gain followers. But its a new idea came off with which you can upload your photo and share it like Tweets and earn followers. There is a New Platform called DailyBooth, which support real time pics sharing.

In Twitter, we are generally shoutting off "what we am doing Now!" but through dailybooth we can "show" our followers- "what we are doing?" with our expressions. Many Quite Popular Web Stars entered into the world of Dailybooth and i think it is the raising point of this Site, just like Twitter got Popular.

What can be its Benefits?
There are quite similar benefits like Twitter like

you can Make your Fans, from whom you will be getting comments on your photos.
you can gain audience to your photos and profile.
If you gain a quality followers then you will be able to get a chance to be Featured User.

How can i share photos over there?
There are three methods:

Through Webcam live snaps.
Through Upload
Mobile photo sharing.

Is there any earning money Opportunity?
Ya, if it gains a popularity like Twitter then the Quality members can get sponsors from the Advertisers to show off their Products- I think....

Some Featured Users like : littleradge, aplusk, shaycarl, etc... According to the new report in August,2009 that dailybooth got around 3 million unique visitors a month which is really an effective amount of visitors to reach the prestigious position of the internet. You can to browse more information about this site on wikipedia.

Different social bookmarking sites works on different way of user contribution. You might be heard of the Digg power users, who spends the most of their valuable time over Digg. To strike the front page of Digg, the users makes them active and popular over the site. They try their best to vote other users' stories, comment on other stories and keep all the front page stories tracked and in the exchange of these contribution by the active user, Digg gives them the power to touch their stories in the front page. But the power user of the Digg is limited and if a users gets inactive, he may loose his power.

So, we want to discuss about the reddit's features, which is quite unique and effective. Actually, reddit gives the popularity to any story which is unique, hot, Good and never stroked the front page of the sub-reddit and even not submitted earlier.

Is there is any need of regular contribution to strike the story front page?
Contribution is very much needed for reddit also but is not strictly followed like Digg. You should submit all the effective and good stories and pics over the sub-reddit and which is needed to gain your gaining "Karmas". I think you might be quite aware of the term "Karma"? then it is an another name of contribution (word took from language Sanskrit).

There are some important things needed for having a good karma over the reddit, as follows:
- Choose a less popularity sub-reddit like reddit India, Google, Twitter, which have average amount of subscribers. So, start submitting on that reddit. It will get a good number of vote if the story is quite good and you will be increasing karma.

- Ask the other redditors to vote your story through Instant Messenger and mail... Remember: Don't give the direct link to the story. Link to the page and give the title to vote the story.

- Vote Up & Down according to the content quality. Reddit also looks on the quality of your voting.

- After submitting your story, wait for few minutes to see the reaction. If your story get vote up then good but if it gets vote down then straightly "hide" or "delete" it.

These above are some tips to stay alive over reddit with increasing karmas... we will be exposing more secrets about reddit, so subscribe to us through mails and feeds.

You might had heard about the Site called "ThinkQuest". It is actually a site by the Oracle Foundation which helps the students to make their project online and inspiring the student to have a HiTech way of learning....

It is a place where teachers are connected with students, students can see others project online, can upload their project to share with others, can make a group online to create projects and the students of one country can connect with the student of other countries for the education discussion with the medium of it.

Many Schools of India like -Kendriya Vidyalaya (Central School) and others has accepted this site as the medium of online education.

How it Works?

In a school, account were created for the each of the Students and in each classes, the subject teachers were given the power of admin. Teachers can easily control the pages of the student easily but the students can only have the independent to put their educational content on their account only.

The User Names:
The users names are created in bulk and some accounts shows error while logging. The user names are in the form of "yourfirstname|firstcharacterofyourtitle.schoolname - johnm1.stjanesred" and the passwords are in the form of the "47sunrise74". The subjected teachers were given the password of the students to distribute.

How to do Projects?

You need to find your projects from the world and send the request of joining the project and if you are accepted then you can post your project and maximum times, the subject teachers assigns the project for the student who is registered.

Awards:

It received the Third Annual NII Award for Education.

I wrote about the thinkquest as i found a very less blog writing about this product of ORACLE as it is very popularly known to everyone. . And another thing i need to say i.e. it does not allows eveyone to get registered to it. Only the Schools can register and can create the accounts for the students.

This Stupid site "GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle.com " looks like stupid to some web users but i must say you that this is very helpful to those who keeps them online over the different social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Perfspot or others.... By using this site a user can stay connected with all the four sites at a time.

Its not done, we can even open different Search engine over these two browsers and search different sites at a time. Now, tell me how can a person call it out as a stupid stuff..?? I don't think so...

Its really an exciting site i discovered, which helps you to find the available of your Brand User name over different social networking sites. Checking out the available user name at the time of registering is really boring, there may be a probability whether we may get the user name or not.

But the User name Checking Application rocked my way of checking the available user names and number of taken away user name. So, if you are having a user name on your mind as brand then quickly reserve it for future.

Reddit was not so much attractive at the time it launched. It was without any good and user friendly stuffs but even users loved it and started to contribute over it and now years have passed and many changed is done on it. By this long period of time they implemented the Sub-Reddits and later they made it public and public created Sub-Reddit on the Topic they are interested. By this long passage of time they fully made the reddit public site and kept a full democracy on it which Digg fail to give.

They didn't gave the users a customizable profile and the access to edit it but gave the access of everything to users, even to become the moderator of the sub-reddits.

After a long success with time the reddit started to gave the users a prestigious awards in the basis of contribution and along with Karma. They put forward many awards on different category like - Well-rounded, Two-Year Club, Bellwether, Best Link, Best Comment, ComboLinker, ComboCommenter, Inciteful Link, Inciteful Comment, One-Year Club, Three-Year Club, Four-Year Club.

So start contributing over reddit for receiving these all awards, they are daily giving aways these Award Badges... Most Prestigious Redditor!!

Mashable made its readers to identify the most popular posts or topic of their blog. They put forward a box at the top which is showing "Now Trending". They put forward their best and popular post on that box to make its users read that post first because it contains the featured writings. Earlier the users used to face problem over Mashable to find the most Featured post as in blog the posts comes one after one which makes the featured posts down after the newly post update.

Most of the mashable readers are now enjoying this new adding of this new box.I think they arrange the popular post on the basis of the amount of "retweets" and little bit of facebook "Shares". This Trending topic is the concept taken from Twitter trending topic... Even i loved this new idea of showing the trending or host post as mashable publish more than 25 posts daily and from them to find the best content is now easy.

Sharing became very easy on Propeller. Earlier sharing your submitted story to your Propeller friend was quite a long process, they used to give limited access to share the story only up to 25 friends at a time and if you are going to share your story to 125 friends then you need to share that 5 times by opening the small window every time.

Even then many users used these long process for many props for publishing their story on the propeller front page but there were also those users who had stopped using propeller for this long process of sharing stories to the friends.

After many request done by its active members, the Propeller at last upgraded the sharing option and made it more friendly accordingly its active users requested. Now, a user of propeller can share his story up to 500 at a time without any error. They simply added a option "Send to all friends". By clicking on this option it will automatically select your first 500 friend and then your are free to share, you can even unselect those users whom you don't want to share.

I will be witting more if i found any interesting...

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

The second Highest traffic of Mashable Blog comes from Facebook after the Twitter. So, today while i was watching my updates over my Facebook status i found a recent update of Mashable on its page (having 40K+ Followers). The update was not its usual update because today the link was not to its post but a link to the Feedburner's Email Subscription.

why it pushed its Email subscription link?
They are in the need of having more email subscriber in a very short time and Facebook is the Quickest way to spread it.

Mashable is in a Challenging mood to have more subscribers than any other... So, they took the medium of the World's two Biggest Social Media for sendng the subscription link.

A huge number of small blogs are taking the benefits of their lucky invitation by the Google Wave team. "After the invitation of 1,00,000 users to the Google Wave. Hugely benefited some intelligent users. Since users are invited selectively by the Google Wave Team, it became a grand opportunity for them to make value use of it." -Unofficial Google Tasks Blog wrote.

According to my note, a huge number of sites and blogs are scamming with the Google Wave. They are promising for the invitation to the Google Wave and asking you to do something for their blog which are traffic generation like tweeting the Message of their blog along with the link, social bookmarking, sharing over facebook, telling your friends and commenting or writing article on their blog.

And some sites are started to selling the Google Wave invitation and earning a good amount of Dollars from it and some are spreading malware in the name of getting free invitation for Google Wave account.

So, be aware of these kind of activities. I think Google will make it open to the User within few time of a month. -Arijit

If you are wanting to have your temporary chat room or chat room for your short Official conference and even if your are wanting for quick group discussion with your friends then i think TinyChat is the Best Place for it.

This a site which gives you a quick access to a personal chat room without any registration. It is very much helpful to the twitter user and i think that this idea is mainly for the Twitter family.

You can able to have the most quickest chat with your friend by sharing the link over your social networking profile and they too provided the short url for it by appling the TinyUrl technology. Their mainly aim is only to capture the market of the Sites like Twitter and Facebook (and i think it deserves it...). Recently it is being published in the "PC Magazine India".

With the launch of such an exam conducted by Sify, where they gave the opportunity to all the Retired, Students and house wife to gather the basic knowledge about internet surfing and some basic computer operating.

This is a simple exam for everyone and also said that the top 1lakh will get a certificate... So, to get enroll your name just register once, the two times registration can lead you to "ban" over this page "i too got ban". You should give a few question test to qualify for the certificate.

This is a Site (BuzzVoice) which helps you to share your voice by just converting the news into your voice. A Voice blogging is really a fun, of speaking and recording the voice to the recorder and publishing it over the web. It supports iPod, iPhone, Mac, PC and MP3 Players...

Really interesting to publish a voice blog.... I will be creating a voice blog for micro-readers.

IndianPad is considered as the India's first and best Socialbookmarking site. Dou you Know? Earlier it was the considered as the "Digg" of India. Few Dozens of users used to participate over this blog. By this time it got around the Google PR: 5 and Alexa over Top : 3000 Rank.
But such a site which was too much active and a huge number of submissions during that time, is not going down... How a Site like such Popularity can go downward? Its really quite thinkable question...

This was the results of the 3 mistakes made by IndianPad at first.
-It gave the most of its powers to the Top User, who used it Independently without thinking. The Top users used to block those users who were trying to get the popularity during that time.
-It It upgraded Google Adsense in so hurry that this resulted in the ban of Google Adsense over the Indianpad, which was their main source of Income. So, this diverted the mind of the Admin from their site.
-At last but not the least, the Top Users themselves Started Spamming this sites with submitting their own site.

The above were the 3 Mistakes done by IndianPad Admin, and resulted in the downfall of the site's Traffic and users. There are only 4-5 users actively submitting and i am one of them "shayan4u123".
