How to Find All Tweets That Quote Your Original Tweet

As social media is a hub of interaction and engagement, it's not uncommon to receive quotes, retweets, and mentions of your original tweet. However, if you want to find all the tweets that quote your original tweet, there isn't a direct link provided by the Twitter API. Instead, there are several methods you can use to achieve this, even if you don't have an account with TweetDeck or Hootsuite. Let's dive into these methods and understand how you can effectively search for quoted tweets.

Searching for Exact Quoted Tweets Using Quotes in Search

If you want to find tweets that quote your original tweet exactly, you can use the search function on Twitter with the tweet content enclosed in quotes. For example, if your original tweet was “this is a tweet that has been quoted”, you can search for the exact content by putting the whole sentence between quotes:

"this is a tweet that has been quoted"

When you perform this search with quotes, it will find tweets containing the exact match of the quoted text. Without the quotes, the search will return tweets that include most of the words in the quote, which may provide fewer accurate results.

Searching for Quoted Tweets Using URLs

If you don't have a Hootsuite or TweetDeck account but are still curious, another method is to search for your tweet's URL on Twitter. Quoted tweets actually include the URL in their header or content, which makes it easier to find them through a search. You can navigate to [your-first-140-letters-of-tweet-url], where you replace [your-first-140-letters-of-tweet-url] with the first 140 letters of your tweet's URL. This will show you any quoted tweets that include the URL.

Using TweetDeck to Filter Quoted Tweets

For those who use TweetDeck, you can filter notifications to show only quoted tweets. Here’s how you can do it:

Log in to your TweetDeck account. Navigate to the notifications tab. Click on ‘Filter’ to select the type of notifications you want to see. Choose the option to show only quoted tweets.

This filtering feature helps you focus on the content you are interested in and makes it easier to manage your notifications.

Quoted Tweets as Retweets

It's important to note that quoted tweets are often considered a type of retweet. Hence, using platforms like Hootsuite or TweetDeck to filter these allows you to easily find and manage them. Despite the filtering, it's challenging to separate quoted tweets from regular retweets because they are essentially of the same nature.

While there isn't a direct way to find all the tweets that quote your original tweet through the Twitter API, using these methods can help you locate the relevant content on Twitter. Whether you're using the search function with quotes, searching for the URL, or leveraging filtering options in TweetDeck, the key is to use a combination of strategies to get the most accurate and comprehensive results.

Whether you want to engage with the community around your tweet, monitor the conversation, or analyze the spread of your content, these methods will help you achieve your goals. Feel free to share your experiences and any new tips you might have discovered through your journey on Twitter.

Ensure you follow Twitter's guidelines and respect the terms of service while engaging with the platform.
