The Most Influential Search Engine Of All Time.


The Most Influential Search Engine Of All Time.

RankSpeed is a search and ranking tool that helps you find the best websites and products by doing a sentiment analysis on the Twittersphere / blogosphere. It analyzes the data in social media to rank results by any item or query entered as a keyword, plus a sentiment about that item. I entered ‘search engine’ as the keyword, ‘influential’ as the sentiment, and ‘all time’ as the time frame.

For each result, RankSpeed shows the percentage of users who have expressed just that opinion and a list of those users with their tweets about the site / product. You can even enter several criteria to compare at once for example how “good”, “easy” and “effective” is a particular product. Any sentiment that you choose can be entered, so RankSpeed is also useful to avoid websites or products that are often associated with “problem”, “broken”, etc., i.e. negative sentiments.
