Summize – die Twitter-Suche | Twitterdings

Von allen Suchmaschinen für Twitter ist Summize Conversational Search sicherlich derzeit die bekannteste.

Summize erlaubt die Suche nach Keywords in der Twitter Public Timeline und stellt dann die Ergebnisse dar. Netterweise wird aber nicht nur eine reine Suchergebnisliste dargestellt, sondern auch optional eine Anzeige der Konversation, die um ein Suchergebnis herum entstanden ist. Das alles funktioniert in Realtime und kann damit also wirklich Konversationen abbilden. Das ist zwar noch nicht perfekt, da auch nicht immer der Reply durch den User korrekt gesetzt wird, aber es sieht schon ziemlich gut aus.

Summize versteht die folgenden Suchabfragen:

  • Find tweets from a user: from:alexiskold
  • Find tweets to a user: to:techcrunch
  • Find tweets referencing a user: @mashable
  • Find tweets containing a hashtag: #haiku
  • Find tweets with an attitude: :)
  • Find tweets including one or more words: obama OR hillary
  • Find tweets including a phrase: “happy hour”
  • Find tweets not including a word: beer -root
  • Combine any of the operators together: movie :) -scary

Diese Suchabfragen kann man auch über die API absetzen. Wem das alles nicht geheuer ist, für den bietet sich das Anklicken von “Show Options” neben dem Search-Button an, denn dann kann man direkt unterhalb der Suchbox die verschiedenen Abfragen eingeben. Abgerundet wird die Suche durch die Möglichkeit, eine Sprache einzugrenzen.

Summize wirkt sehr rund und stellt derzeit den de facto Standard für Twitter-Suchen dar. Das Einbetten der Konversationen in die Suche ist wirklich gut gelungen und bringt zusätzlichen Nutzen bei der Suche.

Report: Celtics Trying to Trade Rasheed Wallace's Contract …

Report: Celtics Trying to Trade Rasheed Wallace's Contract, Acquire J.J. Redick

Rasheed Wallace may be retiring, but that's not enough for the Celtics to have their mid-level exception available. That can change, however, if the C's trade away his contract -- something that Danny Ainge just might be doing.

Yahoo reported minutes after NBA free agency began that Ainge is using Wallace's contract in trade talks. If a team accepted the deal, the money would come off that team's books as soon as Wallace filed his retirement papers.

The report goes on to say that if the Celtics were able to move Wallace, their primary target could be restricted free agent J.J. Redick.

Zach Gilford talks about leaving 'Friday Night Lights'

Matt Saracen turned down a chance to leave small-town Dillon, and Zach Gilford is just as reluctant to say goodbye to "Friday Night Lights."

Gilford, who appears only in a handful of episodes this season, says he knows the high-school setting means characters will leave as they graduate. That doesn't mean he's going quietly.

"I literally said to my girlfriend: 'This is such a good show. I'm [angry] to be leaving,'" Gilford tells The LATimes' Show Tracker's Todd Martens. "It makes sense for my character, but it's so quality, and it's so fun to work on."

Gilford gives a long, nuanced look at Matt's character, what kept him tethered to his small-town life and why it was time for his character to leave.

"He's always been the guy who put everyone ahead of himself, and this season he did it again," he tells Show Tracker. "That's why he was still in Dillon. His arc this year is figuring out that it's time for him to put himself ahead of everyone else, and realize that it's not going to be the end of the world if he does that."

(Be warned: The interview contains spoilers for those who have to wait for the episodes to air on NBC.)
