Search.Twitter.com
When you think of the internet, what feature pops into your head? Searching for information. The ability of the internet to search for information on any topic is the internet’s greatest power. Now you combine the search function of the internet with the real time function of Twitter, and you take searching to a new level.
What is Search.twitter.com?
Search.twitter.com allows you to search for any topic and get real time answers. Many people use Search.Twitter.com instead of Google searches. Why? Instead of wading through hundreds of Google pages to find your answer, you get answers in real time from some of the millions of people who are actually on Twitter at any given moment. Want a recipe for acorn squash? Type in a search or a question, and within minutes people will provide you with squash recipes they have enjoyed.

Marketing to everyone is business suicide! You want to search, find and connect with people who are potentially your best customers. You want to search, find and connect with people who have the problems your business solves. You want to search, find and connect with resources that can help your business. If you are a local business, you want to search, find and connect with people in your area.
Search.Twitter.com gives you these search abilities in real time.
Using the Advance Search function in Search.twitter.com, you put in key words, the types of people you want to find, places where these people live, a time frame and you can even look for negative or positive people around your key word search.
Like a Google search, you refine your search criteria until you get the right people for your business. Once you locate these people from their Tweets, you can Follow them or send a direct message (DM) Tweet introducing yourself as someone who can help.
You can repeat your searches many times, using different key words or other criteria. Since Twitter is an ever changing stream of Tweets, you tap into a group of potentially new customers each time you do the search.
