EJ, thanks for stopping by the blog. Intitle is a search operator. See story here.

For what you are looking for, you really want to search the bio I would think right? That’s the only way you would probably find something like wetpaint, vox.com or wikispaces.com. The string might look something like this where I have left location blank.

site:twitter.com intitle:”on twitter” “bio* * vox.com”

That search returned 6 users on twitter

Hope this helps

Mike – how would we alter this to search for users with specific keywords in our niche on sites like wetpaint, vox.com or wikispaces.com? Does the intitle only work for twitter?

Thanks.
