You do not have to have a twitter account to enjoy the benefits of Twitter searching with Tweet Grid. You can load your search tags into the search boxes and see a Twitter stream of those and Twitter at the same time if you want to. The searches can come up in different languages so it is living proof real time is multi lingual and the real world does not come with sub titles. So, if you are trying to get up to date Apple information, you can search with #mac, #imac, #ipad, #macapp, #keynote,#macbook, #apple. You can filter the language if you want to and you can decide how many grids you want to run. When you do searches like this it is a matter of sorting the goats out from the sheep and applying some filters of your own as you see what is there. Not all the information is relevant. #ipad today has people hustling for gaming colleagues. #keynote isn’t just about Apple keynote. My observation on this random search on Apple tags is the percentage of useable and helpful information could be better. Repetition of tweets is a great deterrent. Nevertheless, there are some useful links and it will only work better if people provide good content under those search tags.
