Real-time search engine Wowd has released a free downloadable social discovery and search tool for Facebook aimed at cutting through the clutter and helping users find the most relevant information.

Wowd's "Social Discovery Client for Facebook" offers users "at a glance" view of what's trending among friends, customized news feeds by people or topics and the ability to block game spam.

"Wowd makes it easy to search for and find information that matters most to you in Facebook," said Mark Drummond, CEO, Wowd Inc.

"The average Facebook user has about 130 friends and sees hundreds of status updates per day. Our new Social Discovery Client makes it easy for people to filter and find the best of what's posted and shared within their Facebook social graph so they can get back to enjoying social interactions and not get distracted by unwanted noise."

The Social Discovery app allows users to filter feeds by time range, keywords and by friends that matter most. The app also offers users summary views of what people are talking about on Facebook including trending topics, and who is posting the most.

The Wowd app is available for download for Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.
