Twitter Search Contest

Jun 1st, 2008 | By CeeDubb | Category: Featured

A short time ago I came across a Twitter search site that aggregated results in very nice way. I kick myself for not bookmarking the site. I can’t find it in my search history, either.

UPDATE!!: I found the site, but will continue the contest. The first one to guess wins!! Post your guess in the comments section below.

So I’m going to need some help finding it because I already spent hours searching for it. I’ll just throw a simple little contest. Wanna know how to play? It’s pretty simple.

The Rules
1. Leave a comment to this post with the web address of the site you think I’m looking for.
2. I’ll visit the link.
3. If the site is the one, the first person that listed it wins!!
4. Collect your prize!!

Here’s a little bit of information on the Twitter site I’m looking for:

1. It’s NOT a Twitter client.
2. It IS a search site.
3. There are two separate input boxes where you can search by WHO or WHAT.
4. The background of the page is black.
5. I believe the home page defaults to posts by Leo Laporte (or the most popular Twitter user).

Wanna know what the prize is? I wish I could give away a car, but I don’t roll like that. The winner will get a cool pair of custom CrankBrothers Cycling Socks by SockGuy.com. I’ll see what else I have to sweeten the pot.

The Prize

Here are the sites I’ve checked that aren’t it:

  1. Addictomatic
  2. Get Satisfaction
  3. Hahlo
  4. HelloTwitFace
  5. Quotably
  6. Slandr
  7. Summize
  8. StrawPoll
  9. TweetBeep
  10. TweetScan
  11. Twistori
  12. TwitArcs
  13. Twitter Spectrum
  14. Twitturly

If you any questions, don’t hesitate to email me or leave a comment. Have fun!

    Thanks thorn. That’s not it, although I think the site uses Summize’s API.

  3. thorn June 2nd, 2008 2:26 pm :

    Sure thing. Sorry that wasn’t it, though.

    Thanks Tinifni - Dang it!! I was hoping you could help me filter out the sites that didn’t have a black background… I’ll check this list. I’ll immediately rule out Hahlo, Twistori, and Get Satisfaction as those aren’t Twitter Search sites.

    damn iPhone keyboard.
    twitturly.com not twittirly

  8. tinifni June 2nd, 2008 3:28 pm :

    Yeah that first list was from summize’s site’s listing of people who use their API. Since you said you thought it used it, I threw them in there just in case.

    Geeze, that sounds familiar.. There are just so many little twitter-related sites that one visits nowadays..

  10. 4fthawaiian June 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm :

    Btw, someone submitted this to the twitter room on friendfeed (http://friendfeed.com/twitterusers). Hopefully that will help get you a few more entries :)

    Thanks Jeff Clark!!

    Very cool site, but it’s not the one.

    it’s not a black background but it does have search by ‘who’ and ‘what’. maybe they changed the colour! lol…

    Thanks Samantha,

    That’s not it either, but the list is narrowing down.
