For example, searching “Avatar Twitter” will bring up a stream of real-time tweets discussing the latest James Cameron film. Searching by a person’s Twitter username also gives results provided you know which username to search – they aren’t always intuitive. Username searches will display the user’s tweets as well as re-tweets and tweets directed at them. Real-time Twitter results may not be the best place to find specific tweets or bits of information, but I think they will be useful in gauging consumer attitude toward specific brands or products.

Not everything has that feature, and nowhere did they give any information on how it works. While it is a useful feature it isn't there for the majority of items that I personally conduct searches for. On top of that it still doesn't provide us with solid and sound results. It still provides a multitude of completely irrelevant websites. Using the term "Decision Engine" to describe itself may have been a little presumptuous. However it still is in its infancy and has a lot of room for growth. It has potential, but needs time and further development to reach that potential.

It does sometimes pose a problem or geotargeting outside of your own state however. We saw this with very low impressions for one client campaign set to run in California. Google told us it was a hitch in this new ip targeting. This is really cool for small business. It does sometimes pose a problem or geotargeting outside of your own state however.

There is an awesome resource at http://www.emarketingmatador.com/step-2-local-search-directories. This lists and ranks all the local search engines, directories and data providers. Hope this helps out 90 clients. Keith (Sam & Jim's original fan) Hey Zach,
