12 Awesome Tools For Efficient Twitter Searches

It's no secret that Twitter's native search tool isn't that efficient. Yes, it offers some nice advanced search options (advanced search isn't accessible directly from your Twitter homepage. You need to go here for that). But it just limits itself to searching tweets when there are so many other things people might want to find out (like followers, profile bios, etc.).
Thankfully, the developers behind these twelve awesome third-party apps have made efficient Twitter searches possible. See a few below:


Tweetmeme: Tweetmeme, apart from showing the most popular tweets across the web, has a search function that's pretty effective.

Monitter: Monitter is probably the most well known Twitter based reputation management tool. It can display different keyword and phrase searches on Twitter, all parallel to each other in a neat interface.

Areaface: Areaface lets you search location based tweets via keywords and phrases. You can pinpoint a location on Google Maps and it will shows recent tweets as well as twitter users from that area in a visually attractive interface.

Twellow: Twellow organizes the information it has gathered from Twitter in a yellow pages format. You can search for services, for people in different professions, and much more. It's like a complete Twitter directory.
