For my social media search I used blogscope.com and icerocket.com as my two searches. These two search engines are different in their own right. I searched both of the sites on 3/12/2010. I used different key words in both search engines and got two different results. Some of the key words that i used were, immigration, economics, economic impact of immigration, US immigration, United States Immigration and economics, US economics, illegal aliens in the US, and economics of US immigration. Both of these sites gave me different things but I did get a couple of relevant blogs relating to my current topic. Blogscope.com monitors over 43 million blogs on their site and I would rate them a three out of five on their blog searches. Icerocket.com, is associated with twitter and myspace but I could not find a relevant number of hits. I think that blogscope is going to be better because it is run by The university of Toronto, but I would still rate Icerocket a three out of five!
