Realtime search startup Topsy Labs has raised $15 million in Series C funding today from BlueRun Ventures, Western Technology Investments, Ignition Partners, Founders Fund and Scott Banister. This brings the company's total funding to $30 million.
Topsy indexes and ranks search results based the conversations millions of people are having every day about each specific term, topic, page or domain queried. What differentiates Topsy is that it focuses slightly more on data from Twitter and also holds on to data forever and results are powered by influencers tweeting about content within the social web. Topsy also says that its fast indexing technology is capable of processing over 1 million documents per second, which makes it well-suited for realtime search.
