News Alerts to Twitter

We've started an experiment where we are looking at popular search terms, breaking them down to see if they might be related to breaking news, and then sending them to twitter.  Our first version grabs an hourly sample of popular search terms, compares individual words to a keyword table, and if there is a match will post the full search term with a link to where to get more information on Twitter.com

You can follow our news alerts at http://www.twitter.com/secureresearch
