A search engine for retrieving relevant and credible tweets from Twitter
In the age of social media, issues like fake news and the presence of untrusted sources are flourishing. Having this in mind, we developed Tweeagle, a search engine for retrieving relevant and credible tweets from Twitter. Trough Tweeagle people can search for credible content, get informed and discover users with similar interests. Our engine communicates with the Twitter Stream API to collect tweets, it ranks their relevance and credibility and offers an intuitive interface to interact with.
