This Week: Use Twitter Search
If you’ve been reading Creative Perch for long, you probably know I’m an avid fan of Twitter. (Follow my updates on Twitter here.) It’s an excellent tool for trend-watching and jumping into conversations with fellow creatives across the globe – all in a real-time format. In moments, I can ask for and receive feedback on a project or a technical issue. I can find the most searched topics and the most  tweeted URLs. I can even track how often I’m re-tweeted or how often my website is tweeted.
