Using Mailana, a new Twitter Analysis tool I tried viewing my conversations; heard about Mailana from Beth Kanter’s blog .

I also picked out “Search Engine Strategies” to find influentials who are on twitter than are blogging with each other about SES“, see below”

Nice, but I’m not seeing anything all that unusual or surprising.   Maybe, if the geo-targeting search worked – that would be something more that I could use (that way I’d know, say, who is tweeting from the conference next week vs. who isn’t – you know #sxsw,  South by Southwest?  Turns out half the people tweeting about the events at SXSW wern’t actually there – like Bill Commack …ha, ha…. maybe with the Geo Search – you could tell who is “really” nearby, and who isn’t.   But then again – current Twitter search for location, uses where you say you live, I don’t think it tries to actually figure out where your computer or mobile phone is, like the iPhone does, with it’s Geo-Location, or Google does with Google Maps…)

Beth Kanter bought up there’s a lot more you can do Mailana:

“….I can also click on a map of someone in my network, KDPaine, for example, and see who her inner circle is. I can also search by keyword and she who she talks to about that. For example, I searched KD Paine’s map on the word “metrics” Presumbly, because these people are talking to KD Paine (and she is responding) and the tweets contain the word “metrics” – these might be people I’d want to connect with because I’m interested in this topic.

Too bad I could not get the local search to work for me – would have been a lot more fun – maybe it’ll work next time I try.
