Two search engines have also launched that have worked out an authority filter on Twitter info. They are called Twitority and Twithority, and don’t sort by the same criteria. The idea is that tweets are ranked according to an algorithm based more on authority than popularity.

Twitority lets you sort your search results by any authority: “any”, “little” or “a lot” in descending or ascending popularity. There are no live update of search results and no RSS feeds offered.

Twithority displays search results in two columns: by rank, using the authority algorithm, and by time which is simply the most recent results for your query. There is an RSS feed from each column, but no real time update.
