Using Twitter is becoming a larger part of our daily business practice, but I find it bizarre that the ‘Twitter Search’ facility on the site is of little or no use at all.Â
Twitter is all about building a following and following like-minded people, whether for business or pleasure. As this is such a core part of the whole Twitter-thing, why is the search facility so poor? In my opinion, the essential part of connecting with other businesses, is to be able to find them in the first place.
We run an SEO & Internet Marketing business in the Highlands of Scotland and there are not many businesses (in the grand scheme of things) that embrace the whole ‘social media’ thing in our area which makes the Twitter’s inability to provide concise search results more frustrating.
However I recently came across an extremely helpful article with tools and tips at Mashable – http://bit.ly/mnQ1g - Have a read if you get the time.
Google’s recent ‘show options’ addition to the SERP’s have provided additional search filters and I would like to continue this series of posts by looking at video.
