Unfortunately, the Twazzup results page can be overwhelming to read, and it only searches Twitter (excusable for Twitter Search, not for other services).
OLD TWITTER PHOTOS SEARCH PLUS
Twazzup: As I've said before, Twazzup is a very useful and flexible Twitter search tool that provides almost all of what Twitter Search does itself, plus a few columns of algorithmically generated results such as most influential tweeters on a topic, related photos, and a great list of keywords based on your search results that you can use to refine your query. There are three services that do a much better job than Twitter Search, and several others are also worth looking at for special cases. There's no algorithm to give you the most read, most authoritative, most linked-to, or most re-tweeted items. The downside to Twitter search is that it's dumb, at least for now. Twitter Search also has an extremely good advanced query builder, and you can subscribe to search results via RSS. It's simple to use, presents results in a very clear way, and does a good job of balancing users' needs to see results in real-time with their inability to actually read the stream of tweets flying by: It updates a counter at the top of the page as new tweets that match your search come in, but you have to hit a link to actually see the updates. To set the stage, let's look at Twitter's own search service.
I looked at more than two dozen products that search Twitter (and other sources) to find the best tools for uncovering the beating pulse of whatever topic you may be interested in.
OLD TWITTER PHOTOS SEARCH UPDATE
But a number-a large, growing number -of new search services scan Twitter and other sites in nearly real time, and will find for you the absolute latest update from the real-time social Web. Staff authors are listed here.To follow what's happening in the real world, you need real-time search. Opinions expressed in this article are those of the guest author and not necessarily Search Engine Land. There, you’ll get more date range options as well as a bigger collection of tweets than even Twitter has. If you find yourself having to do a lot of scrolling to find what you want, after doing a search, you might consider Topsy. Speaking of time, the default with Twitter is to list tweets chronologically, even if you use its advanced search page.
I also suspect it will get better, over time. I suspect that this is down to Twitter still adjusting to searching through a larger collection of tweets. And, after a few more minutes, this happened: a January 21 tweet moved into the top spot: After about a minute, the famous November 6 tweet suddenly popped up ahead of that. There, I was able to narrow my search to tweets made just by the account for “four more years,” and that brought the famous tweet up:Īt first, however, only the November 5 tweet shown in the screenshot above appeared first. I had more luck when I used Twitter’s advanced search feature. In a search for barack obama four more years on Twitter, I couldn’t find the original tweet at all - and I had to do a ton of scrolling to get back to November. Yes, that’s an old tweet, but it’s Slate retweeting Obama’s tweet. That’s nice to have, and it certainly makes sense that Twitter is doing more to ensure that people can find some of those important tweets right on Twitter itself, such as the most retweeted tweet ever, “ Four more years” from Barack Obama: We look at a variety of types of engagement, like favorites, retweets and clicks, to determine which Tweets to show. From Twitter’s post:Īs we roll this out over the coming days, the Tweets that you’ll see in search results represent a fairly small percentage of total Tweets ever sent. How far back? That’s not said but, it seems like tweets that are particularly popular or notable will be available. In a post today, Twitter says that some older tweets are now going to be available. Looking for a tweet older than that? You were out of luck, at least using Twitter itself. For ages now, Twitter has only allowed you to search for tweets back for about a week.
