Twemex: Sidebar for Twitter™ by Twemex

Twitter can be a surprisingly effective memex: a tool for making connections between your own ideas and those of other people, all in public.

But you have to know how to dig through the archives and get value from the past. Until now, this required mastering a bunch of arcane search hacks. The Twemex browser extension makes it 10x easier to use Twitter as a memex.

⭐️ Highlights
When viewing a user profile, see a sample of some of their most-liked tweets of all time. See someone's best ideas, not just whatever they happened to post today.

📆 On this day
On the home timeline, see tweets that you (and your follows) posted on this date in prior years. A nice way to periodically revisit your past ideas.

🔖 Quote Tweets
When viewing a tweet, see quote tweets commenting on that tweet. Also shows highlights for the user who wrote the tweet. This helps you navigate the Twitter web, finding tweets related to the one you're viewing.

🔍 Level 2: Search

To truly get the most out of Twitter, you need to not only share your ideas, but link them together.

Next time you're writing a tweet or replying to someone, try using the Twemex search box to find related old tweets, from yourself or others. Then just copy the URL into your tweet to quote it! This way, you're creating pointers into your past tweets, for people to discover your archives.
