I’ve wondered how useful a Twitter search engine would actually be, and I would have to say (much to my surprise) it’s quite useful!  

Twithority ranks search results by highest ranking users first and by most recent tweets by the top 10,000 Twitter users. I ran a few test and found a number of things I wouldn’t have expected, nor ever would have thought of to search for in the first place.

Kinda sweet.
