Use Google to Searching within Twitter

For any person in a marketing or sales department, knowing what people are saying about your product, or about a potential client's product, is an essential piece of business information.

Using Site Search on Twitter's web site is an easy way to discover what people are saying about any product, and using Google's filters and operators gives you more search options than Twitter's search feature. We will take a look at Google's new cell phone, the Nexus One.

To Search with Twitter:
1. In the Google Search Bar, type [product name site:twitter.com]
2. For example: ["Nexus One" site:twitter.com]

Limit Results to a Specific Time:
To see the most recent results of , select the "Show options" features on the top left of the page, then select "Latest."

Or, you can select the "Specific Date Range" option, then enter in dates of your choosing. In this example, I selected the day the Nexus One was released and the day after.
