2. Tweefind - The Market Problem
 It’s time to re-think search
 sources: not only websites/blogs
 tons of useful news shared on Twitter,
Friendfeed etc.
 information, images, videos shared on Facebook
etc.
 people talk and chat about topics that can
become trends
 need a way to assign a “rank” to social
networks’ users
 need a way to aggregate all this information

sites

relevance for your network
people share content
