Helpful Twitter searches
I have recently discovered some useful twitter search parameters.
Search within a date
To find all searches from some date until now, go to twitter.search.com and type in:
@mattkern since:2009-01-19
The “since” syntax gives you a nice date parameter in the yyyy/mm/dd format. You can also add “until” to get a particular time frame.
@mattkern since:2009-01-19 until:2009-01-26
This returns everyone that has referenced in that time span. A good way to measure if you are getting the responses you want from tweeples.
Measure your RT’s
Next type in:
RT from:mattkern since:2009-01-19
These are all the RT’s you have initiated. Now you can see if you have been a diligent RT’er or not.
If you enter:
RT @mattkern
This returns all the people that have seen fit to re-tweet something that you wrote. Now that is a true measure of twitter effectiveness.
What are some other helpful twitter searches?

Hey these are great! I didn’t know about the time span option.
You can also search another person’s username within a time span to find all responses to them (plus any references to their username, but meh). For example, if they asked a question but never posted the answers they got, you can find them by searching their username around the time they asked the question.
