Improved user RTSE experience on the web through fast retrieval of social media content

Abstract

Web 2.0 applications like Twitter and Facebook are producing real-time content continuously, at a very rapid pace, courtesy the growing interest of the masses in the social media. Real-time search engines (RTSE), which have the capacity to search social media content, like Topsy, Bing etc are currently in their initial stage, due to low coverage on web, lack of full access to APIs of social media websites and inconvenient user experience.
