However, a Twitter Search Engine that is intuitive, powerful, user friendly and free from all of the noise has much to be debated. Twuugle is one of the best Twitter Search engines I have come across on the net. Unlike other twitter search sites, <a href="http://twuugle.com" rel="nofollow">Twuugle.com</a> filters results specific to Twitter and it's users rather than tweets. This is a powerful feature and get's to the core of niche specific research in real time. Random tweets posted by users can often contain useless information thus wasting time filtering through search results. Twuugle solves this problem thus creating a better visitor experience and more accurate information. There are a lot of Folks who may be Tweeting about "Marketing" but not offering much value. This is where most Twitter Search sites fall short. Focusing on the Tweet rather than the user can lead to a lot of wasted time.

Twitter will never be an alternative to Google or any search engine. A recent study by marketing Intelligence firm Pear Analytics says that most tweets on Twitter belong to the category of "pointless babble" where people simply post "pointless" stuff like what they're eating now or say "I am in the loo" now. Also do not forget that Twitter is the best place for spamming. Thanks http://www.OnlyJust.NET Hello,
