For a while, I have been wondering if there is a search engine, or if Google has a feature that I can use to specifically look for topics in different forums. I have a blog about Google, and one of the ideas I have for link building is to answer questions that were posted in different forums. If not answering questions, I can browse different relevant threads and read stories, insights, or any kind of ramblings of Google product users. Well in this way, my future posts for Google Maven will be more inclined to what the users feel, want, or need.

Then just yesterday, while using stumbling I found a post sharing two new search engines, and one of them was Twing, the search engine with the feature I was looking for. So I immediately bookmarked it and tried it just today. It’s the way I wanted. I just looked for threads that were relevant to the topic of my blogs, read them or posted some replies. Well, of course I have to become a member on those forums to be able to contribute. Also, to get more relevant and latest search results I sorted my query using the date range which reminded me of Google’s date range feature. I also tried filtering my queries using the top forums, or looked on top companies’ discussion boards. Well if you would like to try this search engine, you can also filter your query by language. Cool eh?

I am not sure if Twing is the only search engine with this feature. But so far, I think I will be using this often.

P.S.

I couldn’t remember the post I’ve read. I forgot to bookmark it to get its link. My bad. But I just found it through Stumbleupon.
