Real time search feed on your site or blog

Eternal clockThe real time web is the focus of much attention right now. Social media in general and micro blogging in particular have seen to this: Huge amounts of current information is available for free.

Update October 20 9009: Sency is out of Beta. The feed now offers the ability to show source and also, you can chose a title for your feed.

Web entrepreneurs are mining this inexhaustible source of updated news and opinions. Here is a short review of one such real time search product.

Search results to go

Sency is a real time search engine that offers search results to go, a free private labeled feed for websites and blogs. This feed can be embedded on your website or blog to show a scrolling ticker which will publish real time results for the query of your choice.

You can see an example feed to the left, showing results for the query “search engine”. The continuously updated results are convenient.

I would have liked to know the sources of each item, though, and to be able to click through and see it in its original context. This simple functionality would have made this feed much more informative.

Search tips

Not all queries will return results that are equally useful, as not all topics are suited for real time search. Sency suggests:

  • Current News
  • People
  • Sports Teams
  • Cities
  • Current Events
