6 Twitter Search Services Compared Ari Herzog is an online media strategist for business and government. He is the author of AriWriter. With developers rushing like wild dogs to build and launch applications to make your Twitter experience more productive, how can you choose which is the best tool to use if you're running queries on your company name and competitor's product line, or references on small-town bakeries or Red Sox pitchers? Thankfully, there is no shortage of search applications. 1. Also known to oldtimers as Summize, Twitter Search is hosted on the official Twitter server—but is routinely considered inadequate by many for its less-than-stellar retrieval rate, at times as low as 50 percent! Results show the sender's avatar, a link to the original tweet, and a link to Twitter.com to reply (assuming you're logged in). Features include the ability to view tweets written in about 20 languages, an RSS feed subscription button for your query, one-click links to view trending topics, and an "advanced search" form.

10 Twitter Tools to Organize Your Tweeps As Twitter surges toward an estimated 12 million registered users by year's end (though some new stats may disagree), some of us are starting to deal with what we recently dubbed "followholism." You've followed so many people, it's hard to keep up, and it's probably time to do a little housekeeping. But where do you begin? Find Out Who You're Following When I first joined Twitter, I started following people right out of the gate in order to get some utility out of the site — after all, the only way to join the conversation is to start following it. 1. Find Your Friends Not all relationships on Twitter are equal. 4. Get Rid of Inactives According to a recent study, 80% of Twitter users have less than 10 total tweets. 7. Manage it All

How to get a job in a recession - Mar. 30, 2009 (Fortune Magazine) -- Rob Sparno recently did something that 12.5 million Americans would kill to do. He did something that has never been attempted by this many people at once in the 60 years the government has been keeping records. He did something that's getting only more difficult with every day. He got a job. A really good job. A 'pay the mortgage and still be able to pay your kid's private college tuition' kind of job. When Sparno, 55, a longtime salesman, lost his position at Oracle (ORCL, Fortune 500), he knew the search wasn't going to be easy. To keep his spirits up (another must if you're in the persuasion business), he organized a group of seven other executives - including a former COO and CFO - who also lived in his community of Princeton, N.J. Rather than blast out resumes, Sparno drew up a list of about 15 former colleagues who were now in leadership positions - his prospect list, in sales parlance. Two-and-a-half months after leaving Oracle, Sparno got the job.
Twitter: How to archive event hashtags and create an interactive visualization of the conversation JISC CETIS MASHe The use of Twitter to collecting tweets around an event hashtag allowing participants to share and contribute continues to grow and has even become part of mass media events, various TV shows now having and publicising their own tag. This resource is often lost in time, only tiny snippets being captured in blog posts or summaries using tools like Storify, which often loose the richness of individual conversations between participants. It doesn’t have to be this way. Using a combination of Google Spreadsheets as a data source and a simple web interface to add interactivity it’s possible to let users explorer your entire event hashtag and replay any of conversations. View example conversation replay Try out a LIVE version Update: If you are still struggling to understand the concept Radical Punch have done a overview of this tool Here's how to archive event hashtags and create an interactive visualization of the conversation (written instructions below): Capturing the tweets

Professional management tools for Twitter: HootSuite and CoTweet What's happening in meetings I've been in here is likely similar to what's happening in other corporations: People are gathering to figure out how to use, exploit, or simply not get their companies embarrassed on Twitter. But no matter what we agree to in these rooms (which, in my experience, isn't much), one thing is sure: You can't manage a major corporate Twitter presence on Twitter.com itself. Nor, for that matter, can you in one of the popular client apps like Tweetdeck or the current Seesmic Desktop. You need something built for customer service or brand management. The two I recommend are Invoke's HootSuite, which is in open beta right now (version 2.0 is in private beta), and CoTweet, which is still closed. Common features The products have much in common. Both products let you post from any of your configured Twitter accounts, or all of them together if you like. Both give you stats on links you share from the service. HootSuite: Power tool with torque CoTweet: CRM meets Twitter
