12 Great Tools to Search on Twitter

Here are some great ways you can search in Twitter

  • Backtweets
    Backtweets??is a nifty??Twitter??search app which can search for links and short urls on??Twitter. Now, this is something that even??Twitter’s advanced search can’t do.

    You can use this tool to see how many??people??have tweeted a specific link. It doesn’t matter if the link was shortened using an url shortner. This tool will still show that in the results.

  • Nearby Tweets
    Nearby Tweets, as the name suggests, lets you discover tweets from local users. It uses Google Maps to find your location and then shows the tweets by??Twitter??users near you. This tool could come in handy for businesses who are looking to expand their local footprint. They can check what’s buzzing among the??local community.
  • TwitJobSearch
    Looking for a job? Then??TwitJobSearch??is a site you should bookmark. It filters the tweets that contain words like “hiring”, “job”, etc. And it does that quite effectively. Just enter the relevant search term and you are??good to go. You might just land your next gig using this site so keep a watch.
  • Searchtastic
    Searchtastic??is another nice??Twitter??search tool??which not only shows results that are older than those shown byTwitter’s native??search tool, but also lets you search keyword specific tweets. Louis Gray gave a nice description of the tool??here.
  • Tweetmeme
    You must have heard of??Tweetmeme. No? You know those retweet buttons that are ubiquitous in the blogosphere, right (you’ll find one at the end of this post too). Those come from Tweetmeme.

    Tweetmeme, apart from showing the most popular tweets across the web, has a search func
    tion that’s pretty effective.

  • Monitter
    Monitter??is probably the most well known??Twitter??based reputation management tool. It can display different keyword and phrase searches on??Twitter, all parallel to each other in a neat interface. Oh, and it’s as real-time asTwitter??is.
  • Areaface
    Areaface??lets you search location based tweets via keywords and phrases. You can pinpoint a location on Google Maps and it will shows recent tweets as well as??twitter??users from that area in a visually attractive interface.

  • Twellow
    Twellow??is a cool site. It organizes the information it has gathered from??Twitter??in a yellow pages format. You can search for services, for??people??in different professions, and much more. It’s like a complete??Twitter??directory.
  • Schmap Picks
    Schmap Picks??is for searching reviews on??Twitter??about??restaurants and bars. It only has some popular cities in the U.S. along with London and Sydney, so it is useful to??people??only in these cities. But it’s a good service nevertheless.
  • Local Follow
    Local Follow??aims to simplify your search for??Twitter??users by giving 4 main search fields – Bio, Location, Name and Tweets (if you remember a tweet but can’t recall who tweeted it). It uses??Twitter’s API and Google search to produce a list of user profiles based on your keywords.
  • Hashtags
    Last, but by no means the least, is??Hashtags.org. Hashtags is a popular method to categorize tweets and this website lets you search tweets matching to a particular hashtag. Simple and useful.
  • Tom Peters on Servant Leadership

    Below you can find the transcript of a video Tom Peters did on his weblog about Servant Leadership. You can find the original here;??http://bit.ly/agbCuh

    Servant Leadership
    “I???ve talked about the idea of servant leadership in the past. The notion, incidentally, stolen from a fellow by the name of Robert Greenleaf. But let???s get beyond the my-gosh-that-sounds-good servant leadership. Let???s get very, very practical about you. As a leader, what specifically???big word, ???specifically??????what specifically have you done in the last working day, the last 24 hours, to be directly of service to your employees?
    Long ago, Peter Drucker said that something like 95 percent of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get things done. Ha-ha. But also true. I have my own term, and my own term is Boss-as-CHRO: Chief Hurdle Removal Officer. Nobody???s asking you to do the work … and you shouldn???t do the work. But as the boss there are some things you can do to grease the way with the finance people or the purchasing people or whatever it happens to be.
    And so, to go back to that original question: What specifically have you done in the last 24 hours to serve people, perhaps by getting, not a hurdle out of the way, but by getting a specific hurdle out of the way, which contributed to that three-person team achieving a planned milestone 24 hours or 48 hours earlier than they otherwise might have?
    I think you also ought to say, ???What have I done in the last week? What have I done in the last month???? and so on. But let???s cut the baloney about week, month, etc. What have you done in the last 24 hours specifically to be of service in the same way you???d be of service if you were a mechanic in a car dealer/shop.”

    Chicago: No. 10 for biking – Stray Casts

    Here’s the word from Bicycling:

    BICYCLING MAGAZINE NAMES CHICAGO NO. 10

    MOST BIKE-FRIENDLY CITY IN AMERICA

    Mayor Daley makes cycling priority in the Windy City

    NEW YORK (April 6, 2010) – In its May issue, Bicycling magazine ranks the fifty most bike-friendly cities in America and Chicago comes in at number ten. Rounding out the top ten spots as overall best are Minneapolis, MN; Portland, OR; Boulder, CO; Seattle, WA; Eugene, OR; San Francisco, CA; Madison, WI; New York, NY; and Tucson, AZ.

    Mayor Richard Daley might have more enthusiasm for cycling than any other mayor in the United States. In addition to a growing network of bike lanes, the city has amenities such as valet bike parking and indoor bike racks, helping it stand out amongst the competition.

    This year’s list pays homage to cities that have shown real innovation, as well as local government support and a vibrant bike culture. Highlights from the new 2010 best cities for cycling are as follows:

    Top 10 Best Cities:
    #1 Minneapolis, Minnesota
    #2 Portland, Oregon
    #3 Boulder, Colorado
    #4 Seattle, Washington
    #5 Eugene, Oregon
    #6 San Francisco, California
    #7 Madison, Wisconsin
    #8 New York, New York
    #9 Tucson, Arizona
    #10 Chicago, Illinois

    Worst Cities: Birmingham, Alabama, Jacksonville, Florida, Memphis, Tennessee

    5 Rising Stars:
    #8 New York City
    #17 Albuquerque, New Mexico
    #23 Long Beach, California
    #39 Cleveland, Ohio
    #44 Miami, Florida

    “Bicycling’s Best Cities list this year proves that great things can happen in short periods of time, even in the largest metropolitan areas,” said Loren Mooney, Editor-in-Chief of Bicycling. “New York City is literally re-engineering its streets to accommodate bikes. And watching a city like Miami pull a 180 to become bike friendly has been incredibly gratifying for us. This year’s list is evidence that a much needed, far reaching pro-bike movement is in full swing, all across the country.”

    To compile the list, Bicycling editors strove for geographical diversity and considered cities with populations of 100,000 or more. They narrowed it down using factors such as cycling-friendly statistics (numbers of bike lanes and routes, bike racks, city projects completed and planned) including changes in these statistics and a city’s future plans since the last survey; and bike culture (number of bike commuters, cycling clubs, cycling events, renowned bike shops). Editors also referenced the Bicycling and Walking in the United States 2010 Benchmarking Report prepared by the Alliance for Biking and Walking, the League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly America project, and interviews with national and local advocates, bike shops, and other experts.

    As for the worst American cities for cycling, Bicycling pointed to Birmingham, Alabama; Jacksonville, Florida; and Memphis, Tennessee. Despite community interest in cycling, these cities have fallen victim to suburban sprawls that lack bike lanes, and slow-going planning and implementation of improvements.

    Good thing I have friends in four of these cities so I can bring my bike next time as a real cloggie would….;-)

    Channelweb – Nieuws: IBM komt met avatar voor epd in 3D

    IBM komt met avatar voor epd in 3D

    IBM introduceert in Nederland zijn 3D-avatar voor elektronische patiëntendossiers (epd’s). Deze avatar, een 3D-model van het menselijk lichaam, kan worden gekoppeld aan een epd. Op basis van de Snomed-systematiek herkent de avatar medische begrippen uit het epd en verwerkt die informatie in het 3D-model. Medisch personeel krijgt zo op een beeldscherm in een keer een overzicht van de behandelgeschiedenis van een patiënt.

    Het Avatar-concept (video) komt uit het Zurich Research Laboratory van IBM en is in de praktijk getest in een Deens hospitaal. De automatiseerder zoekt nu in Nederland ziekenhuizen die dit intelligente epd willen uitproberen. Volgens Big Blue zijn de voordelen van het in 3D visueel presenteren dat het medisch personeel in één oogopslag een actueel overzicht krijgt van een dossier en ook sneller verbanden kan leggen tussen de heersende klachten van een patiënt en zijn behandelgeschiedenis. Verder verbetert de communicatie met de patiënt doordat een dokter aan de hand van de visueel-anatomische presentatie makkelijker uitleg kan geven. Ook verloopt de overdracht van het dossier aan collega’s sneller en makkelijker, aldus de maker.

    Snomed

    Het bedrijf wijst er verder op dat medisch personeel met de 3D-avatar makkelijker kan navigeren door epd’s. De avatar kan in- en uitzoomen op plekken in het lichaam die in het dossier worden genoemd in het kader van eerdere behandelingen. Die plekken worden met pijlen aangegeven. Ook kunnen onderdelen van het lichaam vanuit allerlei invalshoeken worden bestudeerd, zoals organen, de bloedcirculatie, het spierstelsel en de zenuwbanen.

    De koppeling tussen de avatar en een epd geschiedt op basis van IBM Websphere en een service-georiënteerde architectuur. De grafische weergave van de behandelgegevens is mogelijk vanwege het gebruik van de standaard classificatie voor medische termen: Snomed CT (systematized nomenclature of medicine – clinical terms). De avatar herkent de medische begrippen die in een epd worden gebruikt en verwerkt deze informatie in het 3D-model.

    Nabaztag
    IBM gaf tijdens de vakbeurs Zorg & ICT 2010 in Utrecht demo’s van de 3D-avatar. Het bedrijf heeft in een aantal ziekenhuizen al het zogeheten Zorgkonijn geïnstalleerd: een Nabaztag die voor jeugdige patiënten als online informatiezuil fungeert.
