#140tc: Essential Tools of the Twitter Connoisseur
Tweetbeep is a simple service similar to Google Alerts, in which you get email alerts for your search terms. Searchtastic is yet another search tool for Twitter, but is pretty impressive in how far back it reaches into the API for results. This is one of several posts covering TweetHouse’s 140 Twitter Conference that took place on March 8, 2010. The 140tc focused on everything from Twitter basics to advanced tools and uses for business and beyond.

Update: In Time For SXSW, Twitter Officially Turns On Geolocation
While Twitter’s geolocation feature has been live through its API since last November, this is the first time Twitter has enabled geolocation on its site. Google, meanwhile, is in the game with Latitude and to some extent Buzz (but could have been in it a lot more ). As we previously noted, many of these apps use Twitter’s geolocation API to pass the data back to Twitter, so it makes sense that this would be a A few days ago, we spotted Twitter’s initial roll out of a geolocation feature on its Website.

  • Twitter: A Marketer's Duct Tape
    The interfaces to the capability are simple and well defined in their Applications Programming Interface (API), which makes it easy to plug into their messaging capability. We believe that the new "links" that Twitter creates with its tweets, among and between people and groups, will someday be mined for superior search and attention management — just the way Google uses page links to power its search algorithm today. Duct tape is universally useful because it is incredibly simple, almost infinitely flexible , easily available, and cheap. Twitter shares all these attributes.

Part of Google Analytics, Google Website Optimizer (GWO) is a free tool that "handles splitting a website's traffic, serving different variations and crunching the numbers to find statistical significance."

  • The Twitter Gold Mine & Beating Google to the Semantic Web
    Twitter, potentially, has the ability to deliver unbelievably smart advertising; advertising that I actually want to see , and they have the ability to deliver search results far superior and more accurate to Google, putting Twitter in the running to beat Google in the latent quest to the semantic web. One of the great successes of Twitter has been their APIs and the wonderful applications and sites that users have built with them. There's always been jabs at Twitter for not having a viable business model and the chatter has increased in the current economic climate. In a

Today that changes, as Google introduces its new Sites API.

  • Make Google Real-Time With Twitter Search Add-on
    Some people say that "the real-time web" could be the next generation of post-Google search . Google backers say that Google is already capable of indexing anything online mere moments after it's been published - but the user experience in search doesn't really feel "real-time" right now. Movable Type consultant Mark Carey came up with a simple solution this weekend that could change your use of Google more than anything else has in a while. Social media tools have greatly increased not just the number of people posting content online but also the speed with which they are able to do so.
