Just read this article from John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing.

Talks about using Google to search Twitter for prospects, reading this gave me a DUH moment, why didn't I think of this before...

Hope this helps and for the full article, here's the link:

7 Insanely Useful Ways to Search Twitter for Marketing : Marketing :: American Express OPEN Forum

Now that the search engines are all pretty geeked up over real time search you can create some very powerful searches and alerts combining Google and Twitter.

1) Target by occupation

intitle:"attorney * on twitter" site:twitter.com

What you'll find is a handy list of attorneys of one sort or another on Twitter.


2) Target by bio

intext:"bio * web designer" site:twitter.com

When you look at this list you might notice that none of the people on the list would have been found by searching in their title, as in the first tip, for web designer. Try it both ways to test for best results.

    @InternetSuccess001 - exactly, just like searching EZA; now I'm off to try a similar search using Facebook to see what comes up, hope it works as well...

    Michael...

    It is a great post... I read it the other day.

    There is great nfo in it. Also add the search string that InternetSuccess101 mentions.

    I use that also.
