Finding the popular thru Twitter

The Most Influential Search Engine Of All Time., The Next Web (Mar 16)

More sentiment analysis of tweets. Rankspeed rates for excellent, cool, easy, powerful, secure, useful, and popular.

"RankSpeed is a search and ranking tool that helps you find the best websites and products by doing a sentiment analysis on the Twittersphere / blogosphere. It analyzes the data in social media to rank results by any item or query entered as a keyword, plus a sentiment about that item. I entered ’search engine’ as the keyword, ‘influential’ as the sentiment, and ‘all time’ as the time frame."

Whether you get anything on a search depends on what the twittersphere is talking about (good for celebs) - and then, whether you use it depends on your views about "crowd wisdom".
