Twitter Search - Connecting the Connected
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.

For anyone tracking reputation monitoring on Twitter knows an Advanced Search functionality is critical to having any kind of success in being able to respond quickly and maintain a open and current dialogue. Too much leads to communication paralysis.
Connecting Connected People
The coolest function that Twitter brings on the integration of Summize is the ability to search Places.
Now this is a real community builder function that goes beyond online communities.
Here's a view into all Twits being posted about Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain No Reservation show from New York City.

With the idea of organizations pushing into real community interaction, great ideas start percolating about what can be done by using online communities to create real offline relationships, or in-depth niche online communities.

Twitter Sneaks in Search and survery/widget links
Twitter addiction didn't help me miss new UI additions to the logged in twitter "home page". Thanks to msaleem for the tip, when I went there, I was greeted to 3 new features:
- Search Bar on the top
- Invitation to take a survey (courtesy of very awesome wufoo)
- Easier-to-find link that helps add twitter to your blog.
The one I'm mostly excited is the search, while there are 3rd party tools available that do a lot more, its great that twitter team is filling much needed holes there.
