Last few days I was working on developing simple Twitter console client in Perl, and I got some interesting results while playing with Twitter search.
Have you ever thought that you can find some ideas for startup on Twitter? Well, if you try searching for:
"should invent"
you can get some pretty interesting results, and if you search for a while, you can even get some cool ideas.
Another interesting point. Since lots of people are sharing their emails in tweets, Twitter search can be a nice source for spammers. Try searching for:
"email me at"
"email me on"
"email me to"
You’ll get lots of emails. I even wrote a simple Perl script to download all those tweets, and parse the emails into a text file. Quite an easy way to get some emails.
And the last one I will share today. If you are looking for a job, you can find a lot of job offers. Try searching for “jobs <country|city> <keyword>”. Here are few examples:
jobs uk
jobs usa linux
I'm hiring london
That’s it for now. Happy tweeting ;)
