Hi! Welcome and thank you for visiting us!

I’m Javier, developer of itpints. Here I’ll let you know every news about the site.

So you don’t know what’s itpints yet?

Don’t worry, the concept is not that hard to get. itpints is a real-time search engine. It’s not like Google, nope, with itpints you wont be able to know the aswer to any question. Instead, with itpints you can know what is people publishing on internet about anything of your interest, at the same time you’re searching for it. The relevancy of any result is given by when it was posted on internet. The posibilities are infinite, you can use it to follow what is happening on a concert of your favourite band, or search for news that are not even in the newspapers yet!

Right now there are some other sites like itpints: yauba, scoopler, one riot and social mention (which I think is the best of these). Why another one?, well, if you already used some of these sites surely noticed that most of the results on them are from Twitter. With itpints you will have a better idea of what is happening on internet because itpints do search on more sources than the other sites, and you have the Advanced Search also, where you can filter the results you don’t want to see.
If you need to be updated all the time, you are able to subscribe to the rss feed of your search, so you can receive the results directly into your preffered feed reader without the need of visiting the site!  :) cool, isnt it?

What’s next?

We’re preparing a lot of features comming soon, like and open API, a Firefox plugin and a desktop application, so stay tuned!

itpints is going to become your favourite real time search engine and I’ll help you to discover how useful it can be for you.  Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

See you!

Javier Arias

    I think the service is nice, but I don’t understand your business model. Also, are you not getting most (80%+) of your results also from twitter?

    Hi Juan,

    Thank for you comment :)

    Well, the business model thing is very funny, it is the first time someone ask that.
    I hope the answer is not difficult to understand.
    I made this site because I needed it, there is not a capitalist interest behind this :P

    Regarding the twitter issue, that is true, deppending on the search you made. I know with very common words as search terms you will always get so much Twitter results.

    See you soon!

    Hi JaVis,

    Great work! I like it that you have made this without any capitalist interest! But how do you pay for server/hosting costs? It must be at least $100 per month … do you get user donations, or do you have another job to support yourself?

    Hi Walter!,
    Thanks for the comment :)

    I have another job to support myself, so I can pay the hosting service. The problem with that is that I don’t have much time to spend on itpints :P
