Twitter may not be for you, and that’s ok. It’s for me, that’s for sure! Even if you don’t want to “be” on Twitter, you can still take advantage of the information that’s flying around. You can surface extremely relevant information related to links that are shared. All you have to do is check out Topsy!

Topsy is a free search engine powered by tweets. Simply enter in a keyword that you are interested in tracking, and Topsy will return a list of results. You’ll notice that those results will all be tweets that include the keyword, and related links that were sent. It will also give you a list of people who tweeted out that word and link, in the order of who did so the most.

Topsy is an excellent way to keep yourself up-to-date as to what is hot right now, and who is talking about it. It’s also easy to use Topsy to watch trends, and keep your eye on things that are important to you.
