Tinker will be much more than a Twitter search engine
This afternoon I was teaching a college class about the future of news gathering in a Web 2.0 world. I mentioned that most news services use Twitter as a place for gathering sources and new stories.
Tomorrow Tinker goes live. Essentially the new service will allow users to enter in search terms and more to find news and other events as they are being covered on Twitter.
The uses for Tinker and similar services are endless. Imagine following a concert tour, a natural disaster, or the entire cast of your favorite TV show all in real time.
