A couple weeks ago, we wrote a post wishing Twitter a happy fifth birthday, but also noting that there was still much work to be done. In particular, search and archives range from weak to non-existent. Today, Twitter has taken a few small steps to alleviate at least one of those issues. In a post on their blog, Twitter notes that an update to their search algorithms will now suggest key accounts to follow for any topic you search for. For example, if you search for racing, you'll get a bunch of NASCAR and other folks suggested to you. Previously, these searches were only looking for a term like "racing" in an account's name or username. So yes, this is much smarter, and better.
