Twitter Search

It is possible to search recent Twitter posts for use of a term by going to http://search.twitter.com without having a Twitter account. If the URL for the search is saved as a favorite, you can repeat that search later, as seen in this example search for "Indiana Wesleyan University".

A beta search tool for Twitter and other social media is www.scoopler.com, but from looking at the results on June 1, 2009, it may just be an interface powered by search.twitter.com - it retrieved the same tweets.
