BackType

Over the weekend, we released advanced search for BackTweets, the service we created a couple of months ago that lets you search for links on Twitter. Advanced search filters have been requested many times and we’ll continue to improve them as we find time. Currently, you’re able to filter link searches by date, as well as the user that tweeted and the user the tweet was in response to. These parameters are also available in the BackTweets API. And now there’s a tweet counter at the bottom of the search results so you can see exactly how many times the URL you searched for has been tweeted.

Are there any features you’d like to see in BackTweets? Please let us know in the comments!

To date, we’ve had well over a thousand downloads of the BackType Connect WordPress plugin; now we’re starting to gather feedback and ideas for the next release. Here’s a sample of what we’ve been reading:

Over the last few days, we have been fortunate enough to test the plugin out ourselves and can say with all honestly – it rocks. Once installed, you’ll immediately notice comments from services such as Twitter, Digg, Friendfeed and many many more appearing alongside regular comments on your blog.
