Dying to know the latest scoop online? Here comes Scoopler!
Scoopler is a real time search engine created by AJ Asver and Dilan Jayawardane. Yes, you heard it right – real-time! The main factor that got everybody into Twitter frenzy lately. Scoopler gathers all the real-time results from the web, and presents you the most relevant and breaking news available based on your keyword search.
The page is divided into 3 columns. The middle column shows the live updates of your search. Once you mouseover any particular result, the updating will pause temporary for you to scan through the content and find your best pick. At the same time, two option buttons will appear:
- “Peek” to preview the content before navigating to the real site; and
- “Shared” that allows submission to Digg, Stumbleupon, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and more.
While some might not appreciate Twitter to dominate most of the “Live” updates, you could still head over to the right column for less-active but Popular picks. Browsing through the links, or have your results shown in videos or images. It is mentioned that the service will include blog comments and more live videos soon.
However, it would probably be a good idea to include an advanced search feature so users could filter out some dominating search results like Twitter; or even categories ranging from news, blogs etc. Overall, Scoopler is still an awesome idea to capture real-time results and offer web users an alternative besides the usual search engines.
What do you think of Scoopler?
Any chance for real-time search engines to overtake Google in the long run? What expectations you have for the developers to enhance their current service? Kindly share your views in the comment section below.

Tried it. Not too impressed with it as it can be easily spammed.

Real time Search Engine sounds fantastic but the performance wise still got rooms to improve. And Big G (Google) will not sit still waiting for death because they just launched new ways (use search “options”) to narrow their search results in order to deliver perfect results to all users.

I don’t think it stands a chance at surpassing Google. But… I can definitely see, some of this stuff being implemented in some way shape or form in the future of searching.

I agree. Scoopler is more like a glimpse of what will the search engine going towards in near future: real-time results with organizing features. Again, reliability is another main issue. People will appreciate convenience over fancy features, which gives the developers alot more to work on actually.
I do personally think that ‘real-time’ will definitely earn a spot in future web technology, the matter is how to make that happen.

Hi come2winner,
Since the idea is real time I think that’s the ultimate direction. However, although currently it seems that ‘instant’ detection of new uploaded videos is not possible. But I won’t be surprise that in near future it will be the ultimate direction for Scoopler.
hi Water Filtration Florida,
Thanks for your comment. Sure is fun to see even search engine is moving towards a new era.

Interesting. I guess I don’t get the purpose of real time results when Google is so quick to show relevant updates.

OK, they’re up and running, still in Beta though. Go and support them folks. The only way for them to grow is to get raffic, and a few clicks from us here and there will help them do this. Have an awesome week, everybody!

Quite interesting but it seems they are not popular yet even though there has been almost 1 year since its beta.
