Beverley HumphreyBack in the day, whenever I was unsure about the meaning of a word, I
would leaf through a battered old Oxford English Dictionary. Will Self, although
he doesn't know it, probably caused the most indirect wear and tear of all my
favourite writers.
My trusty tome was subsequently usurped by online dictionaries, but they too
– at least for me - were soon been replaced by Google’s rather lovely ‘define:’
command.
The ‘define:keyword’ command is surely the quickest way of finding out the
meaning or spelling of a word, since Google typically returns a result in less
than half a second.
Try it
. It’s highly useful.
I love a shortcut, and regularly make use of a range of keyboard shortcuts on
Twitter. There are more of them than you might imagine. As such I have
aggregated a bunch of commands to provide you with one handy cut-out-and-keep /
‘bookmark on Delicious’ guide.
Let's skip the basics. I assume you already know how to reply (@username),
direct message (D username), retweet (RT @username) and so on.
Non-search commands
Try entering the following commands into the Twitter ‘
post
’
field, rather than as a search query. Results will appear in a dropdown overlay
at the top of your Twitter feed...
GET username
This simply grabs the last tweets from a user, for
example if you 'tweet' 'GET lakey' you'll be presented with my last tweet (and
you won't actually tweet anything).
WHOIS username
A quick way of checking out a user is to use the
WHOIS command. Tweet 'WHOIS lakey' and you'll see the following, in a dropdown
(and once again, you won't tweet anything yourself):
"Chris Lake, since Sep 2008. bio: Editor in
Chief at Econsultancy, blogger and entrepreneur. location: London, UK web:
http://econsultancy.com"
FAV username
This adds the last tweet by that user to your
favourites.
The joy of Twitter Search
Now let’s look at Twitter Search, and how to really get the best out of it.
