A few months ago there was a lot of postings about a Yahoo engineer who mashed up Yahoo BOSS with Twitter to create a search engine that ranks links based on how popular they are in Twitter. I liked the concept, but I don't want to search, if I have a few seconds I just like to see what is popular and read an article or two about it. So thats what I did. I created<p>TweetBoss: http://www.tweetboss.com<p>Basically it takes the most popular search terms on twitter and searches Yahoo News for articles about them and then presents in a simple format. The idea being as I said you have a few seconds to catch up on some news. It is just another way to present the news. It is very first cut but I would love your feedback.
Very nice work! Good idea and love the implementation. Still some work to do, but you've probably noticed this as well.<p>It's better to group synonyms, like "IE8" and "Internet Explorer 8", but how you would implement this is a mystery to me.<p>Also some content are duped stories on different sites, maybe a filter could fix this.
Very cool.<p>Slight bug with the refresh counter. I clicked the TweetBOSS logo to refresh the page when the counter was at 0.2 min(s) and the counter updated to "Next Refresh In: -0.1 min(s)". ;) (Subsequent refreshes showed the correct countdown.)
