Thing 10 : Searching Twitter.

Twitter as a research tool?  I was reading a few months ago that Twitter has donated its entire digital archive of public tweets to the Library of Congress. As a primary source of popular culture Twitter would be a fantastic research tool sometime in the future. Although with only 140 characters is is difficult to get any context. I searched several topics but I kept feeling like I was missing the story. I suppose if I became a devoted follower the story would be clearer but like the RSS feeds and the Image Generators feels like a huge time drain.
