Twitter Search is awesome

twitter search Twitter Search is awesome pictures…probably the last person in the world to discover Twitter Search, but I must say this application is amazing. I was never really a big fan of Twitter, since I never understood the culture. However, in my quest to find fresh photography blogs on a daily basis this may just be the answer to my prayers. Not only is Twitter Search extremely fast, but the search plugin migrates to your browser the instant you click “Install the search plugin in your browser”. Can’t speak for all browsers, but it was a snap with Firefox. No restarts, just “Bam”. Ok, I revealed too much about my ineptitude for staying on top of technology…now, back to searching with my new friend…Heck, I might even blow the dust off my own account.
