Twitter continues to grow and grow very rapidly while other startups and services leverage its API, specially the real time search aspect. Searchtastic is another startups launching itself as a new Twitter search engine that enables you to search for tweets via keywords. The results include the latest as well as tweets from the longer duration back in time like weeks or months. This is quite impressive as you can mine the Twitter archive no matter how deep in history you have to go. Plus it lets you see tweets from a particular user as well, simply enter the username and the keywords and you will be shown the results associated to these. Pretty plain layout, but this doesn’t really a lot if it fills the purpose it has been created for.
