Topsy is an interesting website that can help bloggers figure out who is helping them to share their content and helping to gain views and interest on the bloggers page. You can use Topsy with various different social media websites. Topsy was made into its own app and it can also incorporate sites like twitter, flickr, digg, yelp and a few others. The purpose of Topsy is a little fuzzy to me personally. I can tell that it is used to show users directly who is sharing and promoting their content.
After viewing a demonstration it seems as if Topsy has a ton of different features and is relatively easy to use. Every tab is a direct link to where ever it is that you want to go. The data available seems as if it would be extremely helpful for companies and businesses to manage their blogs and the content that they want shared. Topsy indexes tweets searches, and even photos. The cost of Topsy is unclear because it seems as if the cost is dependent on the services that you wish to use. A strength that Topsy has displayed is that it incorporates so much data and information on one website. You can find tweets, pictures, bloggs and post all in the same search. That is cool and shows the public more than what they are asking for. An imperative weakness that I found when trying to use and learn about Topsy is that because it is a search engine it is always coming up in search results. I was trying to view opinions and reviews on the site and they were nearly impossible to find. Another weakness is that after viewing the demo it is to my understanding that Topsy is not yet compatible with Safari and Google Chrome which indicates a huge loss of publicity because these two browsers are often used.
