This is indeed the case. and 'twitter search' is a lot in urls ala:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=jetwick

that is where the big differences came from. Can I turn off this
'feature'? It shouldn't take into account that. Although the title of
the web site should taken into account ... like it is done in
jetwick ;)

I'll investigate for other keywords now.

I already removed these early tweets, of course ...

with which keywords do you ran the tests?

Yes, I went the same way :)

Peter.
