Time flies, environment changes, and so should your online social networks. The experience of limited contacts, useless information flow, closed networks, and meaningless connections are walls that are easy to come across, but difficult to scale using most social networks. Obviously most networks are only as useful as the people who use them or don’t use them after a week.

TipTop thinks about people, social networks, and information flow a bit differently. We believe social networks are dynamic organisms, through which your connections evolve as your needs change. Those that influence you and visa versa, change based upon the expression of your and others’ desires, interests, activities, or experiences over time. Like in real life, we are successful if we see the right sign at the right time. Whether or not you believe that astrological signs or blood types determine peoples personalities, there are many ways to get in touch with people who can fulfill your needs using TipTip.

Here are some tips for looking at peeps using TipTop:

• People with positive tweets appear under the Tips column. People with negative statements appear under the piTs column. People with factual messages appear under Related Messages. Look for links to “To” or “From” to see corresponding messages. Mouse-over the images for profile information.
• A person with a green frame around their picture is very likely to have a positive orientation towards the term searched. A person with a red frame around their picture is very likely to have a negative orientation towards the term searched. See our FAQs.
• For fun, you can find people under or interested in any sign. Try searching: Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra ScorpioSagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces .
• If you are looking for activity partners to go to a “haunted house” or experts to help make one, just search who is tweeting about it and connect with them using TipTop’s message Re-Tip, Retweet or Reply options as described in our FAQs.

TipTop is still a baby, so look forward to new user interfaces, an even better search experience, and more useful tools for you to grasp the power of real-time search results and your dynamic social network. We encourage you to be a part of the search revolution by using TipTop Search and providing TipTop feedback.

Have a great week!
