When I teach my class on using Twitter in Business, I always spend a fair amount of time on Twitter Search. After all, where else can you watch comments on your brand in real time?

So I really like Twingly. Previously a blog search engine, they’ve expanded to microblogging.

Twingly searches Twitter, but it also searches other microblogging sites, including Jaiku, Identi.ca, the Pownce archives, and microblogging options I haven’t even heard of.

I like being able to aggregate the information from all the sites. However, my only complaint is that the results are not real-time updates, as in Search.Twitter.com. It functions more like a Google for microblogging, and that’s not always a bad thing.
