Twitter search of the day

Employer mandate.

How many of you use this function?

Here's a search on Karl Malden and Ben Gordon (now a Piston).  Besides entering your own name, what are the best methods for getting quality information out of Twitter?  Is there a successful hybrid blog/Twitter format, where the blogger pairs with Twitter to produce a better aggregator than either could do alone?

Save time and use,

Merges twitter and other real time results from the web.

Also, for an early analysis of mandates see,

Pertinent to early MR posts today on Walmart and health insurance mandate, and on things that are “obvious.”

Have you checked out TweetDeck? It’s pretty handy for monitoring multiple searches at once. Of course, aggregation is easier than filtering out false positives. I still haven’t figured that one out.

There are a few twitter aggregators out there which are worth a try. These tend to focus more on the links within the tweets. Try out: OneRiot.com, topsy.com (who just received $15M in venture funding) or the beautifully named twazzup.com

I don’t feel like anyone’s nailed this yet though, it’ll be interesting to watch what evolves.

An article in Mashable that lists some filtering appshttp://mashable.com/2009/07/03/twitter-filter/ MicroPlaza under the “By Links” section might be what you’re looking for.
