Google, Twitter search

March 7th, 2009

Make Google Real-Time with Twitter Search Add-on – Since I’ve heard and read several debates on the positives and negatives of a Google search vs. a Twitter search, I’m not surprised to see this script. Personally, I think it’s an interesting idea, and I’m excited for the time if and when Twitter is ever integrated with Google. I’m not a fan of Greasemonkey scripts (because of their negative reputation for being used to game social news sites), but I think the real-time search Twitter provides can’t be scoffed, especially by journalists. It’s a great tool — one I’m sure will continue to develop.

Welcome!

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

The past year has brought about many changes -- one, I'm no longer at the Chicago Tribune. After a great two years there, I've moved on to Creative Director at Consumer Media Network. I'm also no longer "acmaurer" technically, since I married my best friend in June '11. I'm now Amanda Woodhead, but between you, me and the Internet, I'll always be acmaurer. So thanks again for stopping by, and here's to some great conversations.

Want to find me on the Web? I'm acmaurer on most social news and networking sites.
PS, I doubt I have to say this, but this is my personal blog and doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer.
