singlefunction1 At first glance, I wasn’t sure about the value of a tool that helps you search for single function sites. In just five mintues, however, I came across a range of search tools I didn’t know existed.

SingleFunction is a showcase of single function website using crystal clear presentation, short but helpful summaries and user ratings. On my first visit I discovered itpints – a real-time search engine that lets you know about what’s being published right now. You can also convert your search to an RSS feed. tweefind is yet another Twitter search engine, but this one sorts twitter posts by relevance by prioritising those that appear to be the most important. Owaks is a new video search engine. SocialMention searches user-generated content so you can track what people are saying about a particular brand, company or topic.

More on some of the other sites listed by SingleFunction soon.
