There’s no doubt that google is the biggest entity in the internet. With it’s search power, popularity,  applications and contributions there’s no one out there who use the internet without knowing google. Almost all things you’re looking for in the internet can easily be found by google if you know how to use it. But if google is giving you a hard time then there’s another buddy you can lean on. Twitter!!!.

You bet it, Twitter is another cool platform you can use if google fails you to give an easy way in searching. Although Twitter is used mainly for tweeting, it’s search engine is one thing that is rarely used by people using the internet. The main difference of Twitter search to Google Search is that Twitter’s search engine is real time and Google is based on keywords. So what’s really good about Twitter is that you can find the latest news and trends about a certain topic since it’s based from the people’s tweets. It delivers information (Tweets) instantaneously.

You can try using twitter search by clicking this link. The main page is nothing to be surprised of and it looks similar to google. If you notice there are some keywords and topics at the bottom of the search form. They’re the mostly talked topics in twitter and if you’re looking for a chat you can just click the link and find people talking about it they’re also called trending topics. The hash tags represented by this sign (#) is a symbol used to tag a term or keyword in twitter. Hash Tags are used for organizing tweets. People use it so they can refer their tweets to something. One good application of a hash tag is that you can use it to communicate with your group effectively. For example you’ve managed to arrange a special code like “#tyugbs” which your team mates can use to know a special information about a topic you intend to research. They just need to input it in twitter search then you can extract all information that your team has relayed.One thing I do know is that there are sites like hastags.org and hashtweeps.com that  utilize the use of hash tags  so that those terms with hash tags appear on their search engine in real time. Anyway there are some interesting twitter applications out there you can use to manage your account. Monitter is a good application you can use to leverage twitter search if you are looking for several keywords since it uses three search forms. So now that you know twitter search you can put it to good use if google fails to bring you trending/new information.
