Have you ever tried Twitter Advanced Search?

I have just tried it and it’s so cool! Example:

github near:"jakarta" within:40mi

Some more examples:

• searching for github or bitbucket (using OR): github OR bitbucket
• searching for github tweet that is NOT a retweet (using the negative sign): github -RT
• searching for github tweet where the tweeter’s device’s language is set to Bahasa Indonesia (using “lang”): github lang:in
• searching for github tweet that is sent from certain location (using “near”): github near:"jakarta" within:15mi
• searching for bitbucket tweet from github (using “from”): bitbucket from:github
• searching for bitbucket tweet to github (using “to”): bitbucket to:github
• searching for exact phrase (using quote): "git hub"

Mixing it up:

• back and forth conversation: from:github OR to:github

Do you have an interesting twitter query?
