Get Facebook’s Wall-To-Wall Functionality On Twitter

May 13 2008 View Comments

summize One of the many annoying things about Twitter is that I can’t easily see a conversation between myself and another Twitter users. While there are many difficult ways to do this, none of which anyone should try, the Summize Twitter search engine has a great way to solve the problem!

While this may not be the most efficient solution, it’s definitely the easiest! Simply head to the Summize web site and click on "advanced search". From here scroll down to the ‘People’ section and type in the username of you’d like to see tweets from to the username of the person they’re tweeting to. Click search and Summize will provide you with all tweets from one Twitter user to another. To get the opposite, simple switch the usernames in the search box.

Here’s an example of tweets from me to one of my favorite bloggers Phil Glockner of Scribkin. Pimpin Moment: You must read his latest awesomesauce review of RSSmeme (Tell Me All About RSSmeme). Don’t forget to subscribe to Scribkin too! (Subscribe Here)

summize_people 

summize_results

As I stated above, just switch the names and you’ll get:

summize_results2

Now this could become a tedious solution, but it’s better than manually searching Twitter for everything. On a side note: you can also add Summize to your list of search engines!

    Also, don't forget the “Show Conversation” link in the search results that shows when you have an @reply – a quick way to get the current conversation thread.

    It would be great if some of the desktop apps like Twhirl would support this ad hoc wall to wall feature! That is it would run those two queries for you sort the results and display them right in the app. Now, that'd be a *great* feature.

    Wow! Thank you very much for the publicity! Very very nice of you!
    Also, I didn't know that Summize had extra parameters like this.. I always just dropped a keyword into the search field, so, great info.
