Abstract

Users continuously ask questions and seek answers in social media platforms such as Twitter. In this demo, we present Qweet-Finder, a Web-based search engine that facilitates finding question tweets (Qweets) in Twitter. QweetFinder listens to Twitter live stream and continuously identifies and indexes tweets that are answer-seeking. Qweet-Finder also allows users to save queries of long-term interest and pushes real-time qweet matches of saved queries to them via e-mail.
