Twitter can be a useful means of obtaining information. But search tweets containing information in accordance with the wishes can be very difficult, especially when it comes to events that have since passed, and immersed in the swift currents of the Tweeps chirp.

Indeed, Twitter provides its own search engine, but it was difficult to use because the algorithm prioritizes newer tweets, which are not necessarily relevant to the needs.

Well, as reported by the New York Times, now it could be made easier by the presence of the Topsy Wednesday (04/09/2013) has announced the indexing Twitter tweets since first uploaded in 2006.

Amounted to 425 billion, including posting photos, Internet links, and various other related content. Prior to this, a new index Topsy Tweet previous to the year 2010 alone.

How to use was easy. Just visit the site and enter the search word Topsy. Topsy will display the search results that can be set period of time, even up to a matter of hours. Search results in the form of photos and videos are also shown separately.

For the sales force, corporate media and political actors who require more sophisticated information retrieval tools, Topsy provides subscription options starting 12.000 U.S. dollars per year that could narrow the search results based on things like geographical location and tweet the most influence on the social conversation on Twitter.
