Twitter Search - Connecting the Connected
BY JAMES CLARK
Nothing like a fresh $15 million in funding to drive some acquisitions.
Twitter announce today that they have acquired Twitter search application Summize, (you'll notice the Summize.com link redirects to search.twitter.com).
The juice is in the Advance Twitter Search, where you can find Tweets based on: Words, People, Places, Dates, Attitudes and Posts Containing Links.
