Saving money is not only about counting each penny: it’s about being informed. To be able to find useful timely information, you should be aware of smart Google and Twitter search tips:
1. Search Google
Google has recently tweaked its search interface in a way that it became more shopping-friendly: now you can search for reviews, forums as well as see most recent updates. The options are available in the left sidebar after you click “Show options“. Let’s see how these innovations can help you in practice:
Reviews: that’s easy: just search for anything you plan to buy, then just choose “reviews” in the sidebar and the search will be refined:
Forums: this handy option allows to see relevant discussions related to your shopping plans. Use it if you need to know what others say about the thing you are going to buy.
Time Frame: this option allows to sort search results by time to find updates published past 24 hours, a week or a year. The best thing about the option is that it can be used in conjunction with the above ones – thus you can find most recent reviews or forum discussions:
Search any site: with site: Google command you no more need to look for the site search option. With it, you can search your favorite site and enjoy the above mentioned tmeframe sorting.
Example: say, I want to find all recent deals and coupons for laptops on my favorite budgeting community Buxr.com. All I need is to search Google for [site:buxr.com laptops] plus using “Past 24 hours” option in the left sidebar:
2. Twitter Search
Twitter search is another great tool budget shoppers can take advantage of. It may turn especially useful if you are aware of some less known but useful tips:
Negative reviews: Twitter search allows you to find what people are saying about the product right now and moreover, what dissatisified people are saying. Just use 
sign when searching and you will be shown Tweets with some emotional coloring:
Example: [Godaddy ]
Questions: Knowing what questions people ask when discussing something may clear up some things you would be unaware of otherwise.
Example: [ipod touch ?]
