In a previous post, I wrote how to use a combination of Google Alerts and a site search of Twitter to alert you when your name, company, or product comes up in twitversations.
I’m not sure how it escaped me at the time, but I hadn’t taken a deeper look at Twitter’s own search functionality. Twitter has quite a robust internal search engine:
As well, you can set up a feed based off of your search results – very helpful if you’re a marketer and wish to keep tabs and respond to questions and queries regarding your products, services, or even your employees!
I couldn’t survive a day without search.twitter.com RSS feeds. So helpful and quick!
Also, make sure to select “Any Language” in the dropdown list. Often times Twitter will categorize Tweets as “non-English” even though they are clearly written in English. Selecing “Any Language” allows to catch all relevent Tweets. Hope this helps!
Thanks ChrisK! Great tip!
TweetDeck has an awesome feature that will give you a search window that will check search.twitter.com with your search string. You can have multiple search windows for each search string. It’s super convenient.
