Summize is a realtime Twitter search engine and in my opinion is the best Twitter search engine out there. It allows you to subscribe to your search terms using RSS but the most impressive feature one that alerts you to messages that were created after you searched while you are browsing the results.
I bet you’re asking why anyone would want to use a search engine just to search Twitter, let me explain. Twitter is fast becoming popular in South Africa, never mind the rest of the world. South Africans are using Twitter to tracking local events, get the latest headlines and to help fellow consumers make decisions.
So using tools like Summize are great to help you track mentions of your brand across Twitter. So use Summize and search for keywords that relate to your brand, copy the RSS feed links and put them into Google Reader (or any other RSS reader), that way all the tracking gets done for you.

I LOVE this search engine for Twitter. Twitter needs to scoop them up and integrate Summize.
