For Twitter Users

[Allthingznew]

Came across this site recently which allows you to follow a complete Twitter conversation. Type in the name you want to see. Also, you can search tweets by topic, which has great marketing advantages.

That is a neat tool. For me the hardest part about having all of these tools is remembering to use them- and finding the best application to use them to assist me.

I wasn't impressed with Quotably, when I searched for conversations that I know, it was not accurate at all, which they must be aware of since they have a link to "fix" beside each conversation.

Also, they only allow you to search on user names and not keywords, meaning if I put golf in as my search it only brings back one user named "golf". Very limiting.

You can use Twitter's built in search feature (formerly known as Summize) to do searches and it is much more accurate (and will update in real time) and allows keyword searches as well as user names.

Also if you are using it for marketing, don't forget that you can use negative keywords.

So rather than typing in golf as your term, which will bring back very broad and overwhelming results.

You can use:

golf -mini -disc -frisbee

which will remove all the tweets that have the "-" words in them and get back more targeted posts from real golfers

I had to go back and dig to find it, but this is where I found it and gives a good demo. The topic search I did myself using the top right hand search box, which is powered by Summize.
