Google@Omgili Combines Search and Social Media
By Anna Johnson on May 27th, 2009Google@Omgili is a new tool from Omgili that combines Omgili’s ‘discussion tracker’ with Google’s search engine. The result is a search that gives you Google results, along with discussions that link to those results.
What’s so special about this? Well, with Google@Omgili you can see which links are being talked about the most. On that basis Google@Omgili is another perspective on what web properties are hot or ‘buzzworthy’. For example, type in the website of a newly launched product and you might see how much discussion that product launch has elicited.
You might also able to detect some patterns or relationships between the level of chatter and the popularity or quality of a given link.
