A year back I was in touch with Technoarti for syndicating their Blogsearch, and they were very nose in the air about it. Good to see humble Twitter bring down Goliath

This may be a stupid question, but how is Twitter suppose to be killing off companies when it is dwindling as well? I haven't heard anything about Twitter lately, but the last I did hear was that it was trying to find a new owner to keep it alive. And how can it continue to be that popular when it's had so many problems? Usually if people find some service unreliable they drop that service...No?

Summize is great, way better than Tweetscan in my experience and a hugely useful tool for listening to what people are saying about your company! Theo, I like your point about improving the relevance of results in something like Summize. If people are paying attention, I would imagine someone's already working on it.

Have to agree w/ #1... the in-text ads are horrid.

Anybody could whip up a summize in weeks. Expect there to be a number of twitter trackers. It is a B-party. There is another party where all the A-listers are attending, mining for the riches.

Algorithms that will rate the reputation of twitters, relevancy of their posts and so on will put this on a different level. At the moment summize.com just orders results by newest. Expect to see some interesting development here.
