Search Twitter With Google - Tekzilla Daily Tip Welcome to Tekzilla Daily. I'm Veronica Belmont. Twitter can be a great source to find out what people are talking about right now in real time. And while Twitter does have is a search page, it's more than a bit limited. Fortunately, the ever popular search giant Google can also be used to search to Twitterverse. Just search as normal in Google, then in the side bar, click more, then updates. And what’s even cooler is that it shows a timeline at the top, showing the popularity of that search term on Twitter over time. By default, it shows the current day. But if you click the graph, it’ll show the results that came through in that’s specific time period. To broaden your search, clicking the month or year will widen the net and bring back results of that time. And you’ll even get a top link section on the right that shows the most popular links that are being twitted that relate to your search term. So, the next time you’re browsing through Twitter trying to find a twit, try out Google’s updates.
