Twitter will be delivering full-on feeds of all those tweets (estimated at 50 million a day) to Ellerdale, Collecta, Kosmix, Scoopler, twazzup, CrowdEye, and Chainn Search - in addition to whatever it sends to bing, Google, and Yahoo.

Looking at Collecta - as Charles Knight does - what's in it for seachers? You wouldn't want to get the blast without some filters and pressure controls. Also, you don't want to have to check in several places for real-time.
Why should you care if a search engine has access to the Twitter firehose., Charles Knight, The Next Web (Mar 4)
Collecta has "adaptive filtering" which it applies to all things real-time.
"Our goal is to have everything on the web that is happening right now. not just Twitter, not just social networks in general. Not even social networks and blogs. We have ten million sites that include traditional news, video, images social messages, blog posts, blog comments… Everything imaginable. And we’re growing that all of the time.Why? Because that piece of information you want may be anywhere. And that story you’re following may evolve outside one single venue. I can guarantee it probably does."
I hope the Federal Conservative Government is watching the stream on proposed changes to the Canadian anthem - basic message - find something better to do.
