Twitter Real-Time Search
Posted on May 08 in Search, Social by Sean P. DillonHave you tried using Twitter Search?
This is a remarkable tool that allows you to conduct keyword-specific search queries that yield real-time tweets containing your search terms.
Searching tweets in real-time is a great opportunity to strike up a conversation about your industry. Many people are looking for conversations to join that are somehow connected to their brands. Twitter Search opens the door to just such a possibility.
The other day, I joined a new gym so I thought I would preview what people were saying about “gym membership”. As you can see below, there’s something for everyone.
If you’re not sure how to get started connecting with potential customers, try searching the same keywords you’re optimizing your website for using Twitter Search.

Twitter vs. Blog
Posted on May 04 in Social by Sean P. DillonRecently, I came across many news and online articles which stated that bloggers are engaging more in Twitter rather than blogs. More and more bloggers are turning to Twitter to express their messages and opinions rather than blogging on other social media networks. They stated that using Twitter is a faster means of communication and expresses their message directly to their audience/followers.
Bloggers usually have a tendency to express their opinions in more than 140 characters. Twitter has a maximum of 140 characters which allows you to summarize your expressions about what you’re doing, express your feelings, emotions, and up to the minute activity. Your followers are instantly informed about your post.
It’s hard for me to believe that bloggers would steer away from blogging and tweet instead. Bloggers are full of opinions and ideas which involves a lengthy passage. Bloggers abhor being limited to the amount of writing they do, but Twitter is a great tool to invite followers to pursue your blog.
What are your thoughts?
