Twitter: the search engine

The most direct and easiest way of searching Twitter is by the means of the twitter search website. This page can be found at search.twitter.com, and many are not even aware of its existence. Twitter for a long time now has had this dedicated special web page for tracking updates or tweets.

The twitter search page is similar in its look to the Google home page. If all you need is a simple search result, type in the keyword and hit the search button. For a little more complex query one can find peace in the advanced search button. This tool is useful for our team at Rikhav Infotech in getting instant information about anything. We even track twitter trends using the search. 

Advanced search can come handy if one is one the lookout for a precise phrase. This search can also help in case one wants to skip any results with a particular key word. Let’s see for example I was dying to get my hands on live news from the common wealth games from the athletes themselves. All I did was search for CWG and bang came the tweets. But I was tired of hearing about the games leader Australia and their stratosphere high gold medal tally. So I chose advanced search and in the box “none of those words” I nastily wrote in “Australia”. Go team India! 

The main twitter search page also has on display many trending topics. They are popular ones in the webosphere. But these are susceptible to spam and so their usage is marginalized.

More than just a tool

It’s not as if businesses can’t do without multimedia in its many avatars and forms, but it is also not as if you should do away with it just because you can. Multimedia is a critical tool in the arsenal of any marketer or business and it can enhance the quality of your message several times over if it is properly harnessed. Walt Disney certainly knew how to capture the beauty of a story by weaving it into a set of hand drawn 2-D images, and that is part of the early appeal of Mortimer Mouse (or Mickey, as you might know him better) among several other characters. 

 That era has gone by and we have moved along to computer-generated and assisted 3-D development, but the power of multimedia has grown stronger than ever. Increasingly immersive and high quality designs have served to capture the imagination of audiences worldwide as people begin to give in to the magic of the moving image. It is as they say; a picture really does say a thousand words. You could read a 2000 word essay on why the Tiananmen Square Massacre was terrible, or just take in that one image of a Chinese protestor defiant in the face of a tank’s barrel; You could talk about how Americans and the world celebrated the end of World War II or you could just see that one photo of a sailor sweeping a nurse up in his arms and kissing the war goodbye. 

Images are a very powerful tool and remain with you long after the words have faded away. And we at Rikhav Infotech look to make your messages and your ideas as memorable as they can possibly be by offering 2-D animation, 3-D animation, walkthroughs and multimedia presentations for whenever you need it and for whatever you may need it. Because images last and they leave a lasting impression.
