Twitter Real-time Search Comes Home
Twitter rolls out a stylish new homepage this week and is finally promoting real-time search front and center. Up until now, when talking with friends about the true power of Twitter lying in it’s real-time search capabilities, some seemed to not fully grasp the concept. Hopefully the new design will help more users understand how it works.
“See what people are saying about…” are the instructions above the new search box, and appropriately so. Twitter allows you to search what users are tweeting about up to the second.
A search for “social media” displays the latest post from @CrystalGibson, “Social media may well be the pain reliever we have all needed-the medicine that makes advertising relevant and welcome in our lives.”
The new Twitter tagline reads, “Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world.”
Below the search bar we find popular topics displayed by the minute, day and week.
Viewing search.twitter.com still displays the old design but you can anticipate they will be updating that soon too.
