If you are looking into ways in which you could mine Twitter data, then checking out a website like TweetHook is quite a good way to get started. Essentially, the site will let you track keywords on Twitter and have the results published in your timeline.
If you were around when Twitter started, that definition must have made you think, “Hey but that sounds familiar!”. And that was no coincidence – Twitter originally let you do that. The option was removed along the way, and this startup aims to bring the functionality back.
TweetHook supports Twitter’s search advanced query syntax, and (as it stands right now) it can deliver roughly 400 tweets per minute per search – provided the term you have specified lends itself to such volume, that’s it.
It is evident that such a search capability would be put to its best use by marketers and people who use Twitter as a platform for advertising products. And the fact that Twetthook is a paid service only underlines that fact. If it were a service that the average Joe could benefit from, it would be available for free.
