Twitter Research Tools for economics

Twitter is a great source for keeping up-to-date with news and events; ideas and links to resources. The main issue is noise: there are so many tweets gems.

One way of making sure that essential tweets are not lost in the din is to use a predefined twitter search including the relevant hashtag. I have added links for the OCR Economics units: #F581 search | #F582 search | #F584 search | #F585 search on a list of economic resources I share with my class.

Finally Topsy offers some really useful advanced features for a targeted search of past tweets.
