Twingly is designed to search Twitter, Identi.ca, and many other microblogging services. It also searches blogs. However, its results from Twitter are not as timely as Twitter Search for some reason.
Twingly has some very interesting search capabilities. For example, to search for tweets and other microblog entries posted since the beginning of this year, use the search syntax: since:2009-01-01 then the search term. Using until: you get results from before 1 Jan 09. To search for microblog posts sent to or by a particular user enter from: or to: and the user’s name.
Like Tweetag, it doesn’t seem to measure up to Twitter Search for timely results. It is hard to judge how it performs with the other microblogging services.
