Twitter search functionality.
One of the areas in which Twitter is lacking is search functionality. The Twitter search feature for friends and colleagues leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily, several application have stepped up to the task. Two oldies but goodies areTwitterSearch and Twitterverse. TwitterSearch is a great way to find people by name if you don't know their Twitter handle or have them in your email address book. Twitterverse is an addicting application combining Twitter search and maps showing Tweets from Twitter users around the world. TwitterSearch is the better application for search, but Twitterverse is an excellent way to kill an hour watching the mundane details of people's lives flash across the screen.
Some other up and coming Twitter search applications include TwitterTroll, an app that lets you search within the actual Tweets to find people who share common interests. TweetScan is another application that searches Twitter, this one by topic of interest. If you are voting for Ron Paul, for example, and you want to see what other Twitter users have to say about him, TweetScan will sift through the thousands of Tweets looking for comments about Ron Paul (or any other topic of your choosing). TweetScan seems to work best with shorter search queries.

Tips for young entrepreneurs
- Abhishek Mande
As part of our International Women's Day celebrations, we speak with young women who are making a difference to the society we live in. Here Shweta Mangal of Dial 1298 for Ambulance tells Abhishek Mande why she quit her job and decided to start an ambulance service.
- Very often people wait for 'the right time' to implement their ideas. The key is not to wait. If there is an idea you believe in go ahead. There will never be a perfect time.
- It is good to take people along with you on your journey. Take the help of friends who believe in your project and you. Hire professionals who are willing to join you. Build a team that you can fall back on and bounce ideas off.
- Be patient and persistent. The first two or three years are the most crucial in starting a business and very often the time when most businesses fail. This happens not because the idea was not great but rather because the person whose idea it was stopped believing in it.
- Be passionate about your idea and have the right attitude. You can be as intelligent as they come but without any passion you won't go far.
- Don't get emotionally attached to your business. Surround yourself with the right people. Professionalise your outfit at the earliest instance. Remember you cannot multi-task beyond a point. Let go and let go to the right people.
