    Twing - Search and Discover Communities

    Maybe a nice new twist on the old search engines. This one specifically searches the discussion forums for the topic of your choice rather than everything on the web falling under your search words. You can search by post, thread or forum.

    I haven't used it a lot, just saw a brief news story on it, but it sounded pretty interesting.

    Interesting. I like Google, but it's getting hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. I'll give it a try when appropriate.

    see if you can find any priuschat listings on Twing...I'm either doing something wrong or it's not part of it's search group.

    Neat idea. They definitely have a few kinks to work out though. A search under the 'Forums' tab for "Prius" and "PriusChat" failed to bring up any results. :suspicious:

    I'm actually a bit surprised Google hasn't staked out the blog and forum search territory already. (Or maybe they're just waiting for an opportune time to unveil those projects...)

    They have an "Add Forum" page, not easy to find. When I found it I submitted PC. That was awhile ago and it still doesn't appear in the list, so I'm guessing it requires a human to verify and add it.
