Monitter – Embed Live Bigfoot Search Stream Results
Monitter is a real time twitter tracker that lets me follow three keywords simultaneously. It’s like Tweetdeck mixed with Summize (excuse me, Twitter search), although the creator states that is was inspired by Tweetdeck and popurls.
I typed in three keywords and was able to view a live stream of my results. In my screenshot, I am searching on kwbridge, bigfoot and wordpress. Why? Well, because those are the themes of my day.
The background, which admittedly is hard on my eyes but looks so cool, can be changed to a light theme. The info panel at the top of the page (not shown in my screenshot) can be hidden in order to have more space for results.
Monitter also includes a widget that will include search results on a website. Below is an example of the Monitter widget that uses my own page style and is only searching on one term; bigfoot.

Great find, Kim! You may want to mention there’s no install needed, you just enter your terms in place of what’s there, and it goes. Oh look, there I did ;-)

Thanks Paul!!! I fixed the problem – it wasn’t showing up on an inside page because of the path to the javascript. There is no install required but you do need to upload the two .js files,

I’d never seen Monitter before following your trackback to here but I can see how I could utilise it to great effect – nice find Kim.

I think Monitter is pretty new – the guy who created it has been posting a lot of planned enhancements on Twitter tonight. Maybe I should have made my three searches bigfoot, loch ness monster and manbearpig :-)

Manbearpig?
I’m intrigued… tell me more!

I just learned about this yesterday from @sheagunther and it’s from an Al Gore episode of South Park.

And apparently there is a manbearpig joke about voting for it for US prez in ’08

Anything that parodies Al Gore and Global Warming is cool in my book!

Andy,
For some reason your comment went into spam and I didn’t see in until tonight – sorry about that. And I missed seeing my post on the demo widget page – darn.
