Search on twitter in pretty useless, unless you are looking for something precise, like the hashtag for an event. It either returns very few things, lots of things in languages you don't know, or is spammed to death.

You're probably better off starting by following someone you know is interested in the stuff you are looking for. A known blogger, someone vocal on a project or in a community, a friend, doesn't matter, and see who they interact with and retweet. Chime in if you want, follow these people, and repeat. After a bit of time, you'll probably end up with a decent feed.

Might be worth the hassle, or not. Depends if there is something to find or not. Demographics of the Twitter userbase are a bit different from the internet in general.
