Social Mention
Social Mention is a social media search engine that searches user-generated content such as blogs, comments, bookmarks, events, news, videos, and micro-blogging services.
It allows you to easily track what people are saying about you, your company, a new product, or any topic across the web’s social media landscape in real-time.
Search results are aggregated from numerous popular social media sources, including Google blog search, Twitter, Delicious, FriendFeed, Flickr, Digg, YouTube etc. and remixed as a single stream of information. The data is fresh, which means you can track conversations as they are happening in real-time.
In addition to web-based search results, Social Mention also features email alerts and personalized RSS feeds for automatic and instant updates.
At least - that's what it says on the website. It's a good engine - very quick and easy to use, with clearly presented results. One of the things that I really enjoyed, which is very silly, is that while the results are being prepared the engine provides you with some hysterical messages -
Accelerating textual scanning
Recalibrating data parser
Scaling back-end networks
Engineering open source bandwidth
and so on.... Well, I think they're amusing anyway - I was doing searches just to see the messages!

You are most certainly in the right profession when you are entertained by amusing search messages. This gave me a laugh and actually makes me want to search too ! :D
Cheers

There is a saying that my mother used to come up with -- frequently -- about "little things pleasing little minds". I've obviously got a very little mind because I found it amusing too!
