There are many ways to search Twitter, probably enough to warrant writing a blog post. But quick answer: you can search by keyword, by hashtag – lots of people have started using #XXX to identify a topic they write about often & follow along with a group of others interested in same thing; and also by a person’s name. I also crowdsource by throwing a question out to my followers & seeing what answers I get back.

whats the best way to search twitter. I read in another of your posts that you use twitter to do research or find sources. Are you just searching for keywords?

Question – someone that’s using an iPhone only to twitter – doesn’t have computer at home – how can they get an avatar set up? Can you use a file saved online somewhere?

Just found this on a link from another blog and wanted to say thanks! I’ve been using Twitter without really knowing what I’m doing! I especially liked your explanation of tiny url’s – I’ve always wondered how to do that.
