Explore Twitter using the Koowala Search Bar
We’ve just rolled out a great new feature that will help you find more awesome content from the Twittersphere! Introducing: The Koowala Search Bar.
The Koowala Search Bar works by letting you chose the type of content you want from a drop down. It has three search modes: Topic, Screen Name, and Keyword.
Topic – Start typing a topic. If its supported by Koowala, it will show up in the autocomplete under “Show news for topic…”. This is an awesome way to see the best topical tweets. Here’s an example of the “Food” topic .
Example Topics include:
Screen Name – Koowala supports more than 2000 screen names from popular twitter users. Try typing one in and, if we support it, we will show you the best tweets from that user. Try these out: @USWeekly or @ariannahuff
Use Koowala to see what personalities like Arianna Huffington have to say.
Keyword(s) – Enter keywords to search Koowala for tweets that match your criteria. This feature is still in beta, but will get better in the coming weeks and months. Checkout iPhone News or Pepper Spray
We are constantly increasing screen name coverage and improving the Koowala experience. If you have any comments or feature suggestions, please let us know!
