Twitter for research?

Filed under: Social Networking — Mike Burford @ 3:36 pm

I’d read a few comments in the past about searching Twitter but didn’t think much about it until reading Anthony Pisani’s comment on Eric Mack’s “Twitter as a tool for Personal Knowledge Management” post.  Eric raises some good points as I hadn’t thought of using Twitter for research before, and Andy makes a really good comment in response.  But Twitter Search is helpful for identifying the people who Twitter about something I’m interested in, then checking out their blogs/websites for anything they may have posted about the topic.  Okay, so maybe I’m way out of date and everybody knows this already.  :)
