I have pretty substantial experience with search engines; and like you, use them everyday to find relevant content. I first heard about this new search engine called LeapFish a few months ago when I met Lena Shaw at the first Silicon Valley Tweetup. Leapfish is also sponsoring the upcoming Tweetup this Wednesday at the Hotel Valencia. What I dig about Leapfish is that you can pretty much find every piece of content related to any specific search query. You can search Google, Yahoo, MSN and it also aggregates the top news from the AP, Youtube videos, Twitter trending topics, weather, etc. on the home page. As usual, I did a search for "Michael Brito" and was delighted to see the common results I usually see when I Google myself; but also on the same page without any additional clicks I was able to see blog mentions, videos and images. It's definitely a time saver and it has a clean interface. What I would love to see and I am sure they are working on this as we speak is a the aggregation of twitter search, foursquare, Yelp and other social tools. Customization would also make LeapFish stand out from rest. source:http://www.britopian.com/2009/09/20/leapfish-search-engine-is-quite-impressive/

There are many different ways to search the internet, regardless if you are looking for videos, pictures, or what have you. Having to go to different searching platforms can be rather time consuming. Thanks to the LeapFish multimedia searching platform, internet users worldwide will be able to enjoy the convenience of searching Google, Yahoo!, and Bing all on the same webpage. LeapFish is a new multimedia search engine that captures the variety of the web in a single search platform. This multi-faceted searching machine promises to change the rules of the game in regards to REAL-TIME multimedia searching.

We have seen a few social as well as real-time search engines previously, and this whole week is all about a new-comer: Leapfish. In fact , there's so much buzz around it that I found it necessary to review the tool here and discuss it with our SEJ community. LeapFish is a new social and real time search engine in their own words.

The Web has evolved. It used to be a place where people came to just search for simple information. Now it's a place where people come to also share information. Information today that is multi-media and more complex. Information today that is real-time and social - recommended by people who know, and people you know. I refer to this new place as "The Living Web" and recently our team at LeapFish debuted the web's new search engine made to navigate this new living web.

--New Real-Time Search Engine Continues Its Development and Integrates Four New Services into Search Results.LeapFish, a new multi-media and real-time search, communication, and sharing platform, announced today the integration of four new services. The search platform now includes results from Digg, Facebook, Crunchbase and Scribd, expanding its reach for consumers on every search.

Both Google and LeapFish used social media to promote their Real Time Search. They have formed partnerships with both Facebook and Twitter and other valuable online destinations to provide data in Real Time.

You might have heard over the last few months: the Internet is entering what many are referring to as "The Real-Time Web". In other words, where static pages were all the rage in the 90's, and blogs, social networks and interconnectivity became popular in the early part of the new millennium, we're now entering a phase preoccupied with what's happening now. As in right this minute. One salient example where this played a critical role was in the controversial Iranian presidential election, where Twitterers on the ground were able to get reports out live, without any help from the press.
