Abstract
The rise of Social Media creates a wealth of information that can be very valuable for private and professional users alike. But many challenges surrounding this relatively new kind of information are yet unsolved. This is true for algorithms that efficiently and intelligently process such data, but also for methods of how users can conveniently access it and how results are displayed. In this paper we present a tool that lets users perform exploratory search on several Social Media sites in parallel. It gives users the opportunity to explore a topic space, and to better understand facets of current discussions.
