Great Tool Whether You Tweet or Not

By Janet

I have recently discovered Tweet Scan and think you should know about it whether or not you are using Twitter these days.  If you are an entrepreneur in today’s world, you can learn some valuable information with this tool.  Tweet Scan is intended to be a search engine that helps you find topics and people on Twitter and it is fabulous for that.  It allows you to find people with similar interests to yours or find those people who are in your target market. 

If you don’t use Twitter, think of Tweet Scan as a place for research.  You can find out what others are currently saying about a particular subject, person or event.  You will need to be able to spend some time poking around because you will find LOTS of posts on most topics.  It is truly a search engine for comments that are being posted on Twitter and thus a valuable tool for learning about your niche.  One reason that you will need to plan on spending some time on this research is because of the nature of Twitter.  Posts on Twitter, called Tweets, are limited to 140 characters so the writers very often just post links to longer articles and blog posts.  A list of references on Tweet Scan can give you reading material for hours.  Enjoy the learning!

Thanks for the info about Tweet Scan, Janet. I signed up for Twitter because I was in one of those “break the trance” moods, and have been hearing about Twitter for a year.

Sheepishly, I have to say I haven’t used it since the initial signup. Do you Twitter? Do you have “followers?”

I’ll check out Tweet Scan.

Thanks!
