PeopleBrowsr, the platform that lets you integrate your activity on various social networks is bringing real time search to its list of features. The feature will let users transform their filtered searches on networks into conversations. The idea is to benefit firms learn how there product/service fared across the social networks, letting them filter search with respect to locations and topics. This in turn lets them more directly engage with the people and with almost everyone using social networks and with real time search in, it encourages higher engagement by crawling across more conversation per instant.

Microsoft‘s Bing is moving along pretty nice in the search market as it crawled past Yahoo Search once again after its launch. While it has definitely got a long way to go, even to be remotely close to Google, Bing presently stands up at number two with a 13% market share, going past Yahoo’s 10.15%. I was a bit skeptic about this venture from Microsoft, Bing has what it takes especially with the addition of Twitter to its search results.

TokBox has changed its CEOs thrice in a very short period and there is barely a founder left in its team now.

The problem with writing up a post is finding the right image and more importantly ones you don’t have to worry about taking permissions for. Google today launched a feature for Image Search that lets you find images that fall under the Creative Commons License. This isn’t restricted to the Creative Commons License (CCL) only but images that are tagged with other licenses like GNU Free Documentation license or images that on public domains. The CCL lets artists set ways how their images are used by others i.e in a commercial or noncommercial way. Once the artist has set up how their work is available on the web, Google makes sure that others on the web can find the image for their use.
