Being in the Social Media Monitoring space, I often need to test certain functionality with Twitter Search. For my account, this is very difficult. For some reason, none of my tweets ever show up in Twitter Search. Have I been blacklisted? I know twitter search doesn’t access all tweets, but I figured it would have seen one of mine.
Well, I am not alone. Twitter has a help desk article on the subject here. I tried to create a ticket, but it looks like they were hiding the link. No worries, Rails apps have easy to guess URLS, http://help.twitter.com/requests/new.
Submitted a ticket, we’ll see if anything comes from it.
You probably got flagged for follower churn. I wonder whether Twitter is exposing spam probability to their outside search partners. It’s valuable data and probably hard to calculate from just the content of the stream.
