Forum search
The curiously named Omgili is a search engine for web discussions and forums.
These things don't have much journalistic value, but they can help if you have a computer problem or something similar. Omgili seems quite clever in the way it selects discussion forums, but the content is not date-marked, and often proves to be ancient.
It's also not the only one of its kind: there's also BoardReader, which does the same job. (I just tried it, and weirdly it is giving me results in Italian and German.)
