KallOut’s Twitter Search Tool
KallOut is one of my favorite tools these days and I am very impressed with the moves they’ve made to give the people what they want. KallOut is a desktop search tool that has a varied menu of search options, which can be “Kall(ed)Out” by selecting text from within your desktop programs, (Outlook, Word, etc…). It started out with the usual suspects, Google, Yahoo, and Live but has now branched out and included our good friend Twitter. Here is a step by step process of running a Twitter Search directly from your desktop! If you’re not using KallOut I greatly recommend this tool for various reasons, but currently, this is at the top of my list.
From within an email to a friend, using Outlook, I selected the text “BlogHer” and under the search options, chose Twitter Search.
The KallOut box then pops up and I clicked on Search All Tweets.
Tah-Dah! You’ve got the tweets about BlogHer
