Search tweets for specific
terms that:
- Contain ANY of the words
- Contain EXACT phrases
- Contain ALL the words
- EXCLUDE certain words
Search tweets by FROM, TO,
or MENTIONING specific
people (e.g. @wegohealth)
Search tweets by people
who are from/near a location
(based on bio)
Search for tweets within a
range of dates
Search for tweets with a
POSITIVE or NEGATIVE
attitude or asked as a
question (?)
Search for tweets that
contain URLs/links
16. Twitter Search: Hashtags
#Hashtags:
- “Hashtags are a community-driven convention
for adding additional context and metadata to
your tweets.”
- “They're like tags on Flickr, only added inline
to your post. You create a hashtag simply by
prefixing a word with a hash symbol:
#hashtag.”
- Acts like a reference label
- e.g. #health20 for the Health 2.0 Conference
