Your journalistic questions must be streamlined into the logic of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, if you are hoping to succeed in finding your target among opinions, cat photos, or self-promotion.

Learn how to search for photos, videos, and postings on Facebook by location and date, how to make invisible friend lists visible, and how to make your own formulas using a special search engine. On LinkedIn you will learn how to find very specific information in unexpected places using special commands; on Twitter, you will learn how to look for missing tweets, how to filter, and how to improve the accuracy of your answers.
