The problem isn’t the use of the SmashLAB name, but rather that the show is so bad that people arecomplaining, and that now their company “sucks by association” when people search on the name.

It’s surprising that a site this successful managed to get by without this type of functionality, but this belated function now means that you can search for fellow tweets by their real names. Crazy.

Agreed.

Alas, find real people on twitter:

You can either search for names in the main search bar or go to the new, dedicated “Who Are You Looking For?”   option.
