TwitZap is a new way to use Twitter. It lets you slice Twitter into realtime streams of stuff that matters to you. On top of that, TwitZap users can tweet each other in real-time using our Twitter accelerator technology even while Twitter is down.
Real time search / search channels: On Twitter, you can click on your username in the menu on the right side to see all mentions of it; this practice is usually called a “vanity search.” TwitZap lets you do that for any term you want. If you want to always be able to quickly search for terms “social media”, “job”, and “Trent Reznor”, you can easily add them to the menu.
Tweets from a given User: Start with "user:" and then the name of the user you want to stalk, errr, be kept up to date about.
Tweets from or to a given User: Start with "chatter:" and then the name of the user you want to be kept up to date about.
Unlike Twitter, TwitZap’s site is updated automatically and in real time, at the speed you choose with the little bar in the upper left corner. Turn the knob all the way left, and the updates will be paused. This is a nice improvement from Twitter’s standard page which has to be updated manually.
