What's the difference between the Twitter Username and Search Query options? – Dynamic Signal

note

For information on connecting Twitter feeds, see our article on feeds here.

When you connect a new Twitter feed, you have two intial choices: Twitter Username and Search Query.

You can use the Twitter Username option to import all content from just one Twitter handle. From here you can also use the #Hashtags, @Usernames, or Keywords option to filter posts imported from this username.

If you wish to import tweets on a certain topic, rather than from a specific user, you should choose the Search Query option.

note

You may want to test your query in Twitter before creating the feed. Try using the Advanced Search option at Twitter.com to see how to build a search query and get results. Our Customer Support team will be unable to assist you in building Twitter Search Queries.

tip

Twitter Search Queries have the potential to return a lot of content. Make sure to set your Twitter Feed's Review Status to Review First to ensure you don't flood your community with content.
