I came across a great search tool built specifically to search postings within Twitter call “Terraminds“. (hat tip to Shashi)

This is a great research tool if you’re looking for specific resources for a specific project. For example, I’m always on the lookout for poets to showcase on my poetry podcast “Cloudy Day Art“. I do a simple query for “poetry” (click to try it) and lo and behold I get tweets like (real finds):

I just saw your reply on Nov2. Thank you ^^; I used to do some slam poetry competitions so sometimes maybe it comes out.

i need some poetry that conveys the general message of ‘go aftwr what you want.’

So I came to Starhucks to handle a few clerical things…but it turns out hat I came on poetry night. Poetry night is just a subtle way to stand on a soapbox. Annoying!!!

It can also be a great tool to use to find Tweeters to follow who share your same interests. Looking for fellow kayakers to follow? Search for “going kayaking“. “58 finds in the last 2 months”. Cool.

Cliff Ravenscraft over at GSPN.TV’s Net Junk 27 podcast turned me on to a great new online music search utility called SeeqPod (terrible name if your trying to tell somebody the URL offline).

Yes, there have been others who do this, but what makes this different is that you can search for an artist/song and add it to a virtual playlist–which can be saved, shared, and even embedded into your blog or web page. In fact, I created one here below.
