I made a little program to make it easy to, given a word you want to learn, find example sentences for it on twitter. It barely works, but it's already useful. I really like the cards I've made from twitter, they have a nice... flavor? Maybe you guys will find it useful as well.

If it's broken for you, let me know how and I'll try to fix it. I've tested on my mac only.

Haha this great - it is choosing the 40 or so most recent tweets matching the search? It seems to work better than the Twitter search does for the same term (more results). Much simpler interface than the Twitter site, too. No whales!

Yeah, it's just the most recent n, where n is a number I forgot.

That's pretty cool. And I found this little gem.

This is a great tool! Tried to access today bit it didn't work - not sure if it's just the connection I am using, or if it is a problem with the program itself though.

I'am also having the same issue. I'm using Windows 7 and it just resolves to the Author's information page. Looking forward to trying it though!
