Peoplebrowsr: How to search Twitter bio profiles

Ever wondered how to search the Bio fields for someone in Twitter? How to search Twitter profiles? Peoplebrowsr is the only surefire way I’ve found.

Using Consumers to Advertise: Worse than Facebook Beacon?

It might be hard to see, but the first line of when I did the Google search -oh ok, a vanity search – on “laurel papworth” is a sponsored ad (slightly yellowed).

The use of space [...]
