Find out What People Are Saying Online
Wondering what new parents really think about co-sleeping and Ferberizing? Or what Harry Potter fans are saying about the possible spoilers circulating around the Internet? Whatever your subject, find out what folks are saying online using Omgili, a relatively new site that searches online discussions very effectively.

Omgili's engine scans millions of online discussions on more than 100,000 message boards and forums.

On each search page, you also get an online buzz graph showing you how many discussion posts were made each day for the past month. Click on any day, and you get a list of all of those discussions.

In addition to the general search, check out Omgili Buzz, which gives a daily overview of the most popular discussion topics in areas such as videos, movies, news, games, DVDs and books.

The site also has a feature called Omgili Graphs, which enables you to easily create chatter graphs comparing the amount of buzz about the topics of your choice, which you can then embed on your website or blog.
