Users are getting more interested in real-time results; especially for the keywords associated with latest news. And, thus real-time search engines like Bing, FriendFeed and OneRiot are getting more and more popular. However, there are some that are not as popular as them but not lesser than them in any aspect. http://aafter.com/ is one of them that provide real-time search results for any search keyword directly from Twitter. Users are just required to type‘t’ before the keyword to get the most relevant and real-time result.

My guess is users prefer it the other way around – they have a set of websites (mostly blogs) they follow, and they want to know which stories are worth the 3 minutes read.
Also, it’s very common for very hot stories to be covered by multiple sources (for example, Google’s annoncement of the Chrome OS, a possbile Microsoft killer), and users want to know which blog ( or any other webstie) provides the most interesting insight into the story.
For that, try tFeeder – hot technology stories fed by RSS feeds of top technology blogs ( including GigaOm), ranked by Twitter:
