Have you ever wished that Twitter’s search feature had a little bit more pizzaz? The Archivist takes Twitter search and spices it up with a number of cool features and enhancements. First of all, as the name suggests, if you sign in using your Twitter account you can save search results for easy access in the future.

For each search, The Archivist also creates 6 different “visualizations.” These graphs let see you see at a glance how the volume of tweets about a certain keyword has changed over time, who’s tweeting about a specific topic the most, what URL is being shared the most in the tweets, what words are associated with specific tweets, and what Twitter clients are being used to tweet the most.

You can also download the data from each search as a zip file or view it in Excel.

All in all, The Archivist seems like it could be quite useful to marketers, or to anyone using Twitter for research purposes. Although it lacks more advanced features like sentiment analysis, it’s free and easy to use. What do you think of it?
