It can be addictive. Twortex
is a Montreal based company that offers a free Twitter search engine powered by
the Darwin Awareness Engine™. I
now use it to discover new conversations on Twitter and sometimes find items
related to my topics of interest that I did not anticipate were connected to
these topics. The Darwin Scan Cloud™ provides the top hundred themes connected
to an attractor, our term for a search topic of interest. As you scan over it
you can see related themes. Here is a Twortex Scan Cloud™ covering the term –
enterprise20 – for the past 24 hours on 9/10. The actual tweets connected to
these terms are seen on the right of the screen. Clicking on the listed tweet
can take you to the actual tweet.
Here is the search on tweets
for the past 120 hours on 9/10 on the same term – enterprise20 – for the past
120 hours on 9/10. You can see the changes on coverage.
In the screen below you can
see some interrelated terms highlighted in red after mousing over one of the
terms in the scan cloud shown above.
This provides an alternative to traditional Twitter search that presents
topics in a liner order that can make it harder to see trends and more
difficult to quickly scan over a large amount of content. You can go to the
Twortex site and register and to use it at no cost.
