While nearly every top search engine and social media site races to deliver real-time search, a startup led by AOL and Reuters appears to be the first out of the gate, paidContent reports.
Collecta, which launched in beta today, says its real-time search engine comes very close to delivering search results instantly. The site claims to return results that are often several seconds ahead of its real-time search competitors, according to paidContent.
Collecta's results are currently pulled from various sites, including Twitter, WordPress, Flickr, and YouTube. Each search query on Collecta is followed by a stream of constantly updated results in the browser.
