It’s so easy to write posts about Twitter. Why?
There’s just so much material out there that people just don’t realize.
From the API’s like my personal fav (Twhirl) to things like today’s topic;
Using the Twitter Search Function.
Wait. You did know they have a search function - right?
http://search.twitter.com
Did you also know Google has a Twitter Search?
* Actually it’s a Steve Rubel coop project but it does show up on G searches. Trust me - you’ll like the twitter search better!
Back to Twitter Search.
- You can search for most any term (as in your name, or twitter name)
- Search for a hashtag
But then there is a plethora of other search functions you might not know about. Consider this your Search Cheat Sheet (copied directly from a hard to find page on twitter)
Search Operators
You can type these search operators directly into the search box. (Alternatively, you can use the advanced search form to automatically construct your query.)
Operator
Finds tweets…
So there you have it. Now you can search Twitter more effectively.
Now go Twsearching!
