Google is not the only search engine...

....I know, I can hardly believe this myself, but apparently there are things that other search engines do better than Google. Or at least one thing: finding out what  real time (i.e. now) discussions are going on.
If you have ever wondered how a journalist can write with authority about the topic the country was tweeting about yesterday afternoon this is how - they looked it up on collecta.com  
Right now - at this very moment -  the hot topics are
  • Inception
  • The Tour de France
  • Lindsay Lohan
  • Oil Seep
  • Steve Jobs
