A while ago, I realized something about my Twitter (X) timeline:
I was following too many new accounts — accounts created last month, last week, or literally yesterday. Most of them tweeted for a few days and disappeared. No consistency. No depth. Just noise.
I wanted the opposite.
Old accounts.
People who had been here for years, contributed for years, and built trust over time.
The problem?
Twitter doesn’t give you any proper way to filter accounts by join date.
You can’t say “show me people who joined before 2015” or “show me users who’ve been here for at least 3,000 days.”
Nothing. Zero.
So I needed a deeper search tool — something that could actually filter accounts by their join dates, not just keywords or hashtags.
That’s how I ended up using Circleboom Twitter.
Why Does “Join Date” Even Matter?
Not all Twitter accounts are equal.
Older accounts usually bring something valuable:
- They’ve been around long enough to prove they’re real.
- They tend to be more consistent.
- They’ve seen trends rise and fall.
- They post with experience, not with hype.
I didn’t want to follow accounts that might disappear next week.
I wanted people who had been on Twitter for years — not days.
And if you’re curating a high-quality timeline, building a list, researching a niche, or just avoiding spam accounts created recently, join date is one of the most important filters you can use.
But again… Twitter doesn’t give you that option.
Twitter’s Search Is Good — Just Not Deep Enough
Twitter search can show you:
- Tweets by date
- Tweets by keyword
- Tweets from certain people
But when it comes to finding accounts, Twitter is extremely limited.
You can’t filter users by:
- Join date
- Location
- Followers/following counts
- Verification status
- Engagement
- Interests
- Account age
So if you want to find “people who joined before 2014,” Twitter simply can’t do it.
That’s when you need something more advanced.
The Tool I Use: Circleboom Twitter
When I wanted to filter accounts by join date, I started using Circleboom Twitter, and it made the whole process effortless.
Why Circleboom?
Because it’s not just a scheduler —
it’s a full Twitter (X) management platform, and it’s also an official partner of X, which means it works through official APIs (safe, compliant, no sketchy automation).
Its search features go way beyond what Twitter offers.
You can search users based on:
- Interests/keywords
- Locations
- Verification status
- Follower or following ranges
- Activity level
- And most importantly → Join date
Circleboom lets you pick any time range you want.
You can literally say:
- “Find accounts that joined before January 1, 2014.”
- “Show users who joined between 2012–2016 and live in the UK.”
- “Find verified designers who joined before 2015 and are located in New York.”
I actually did this — I searched for accounts that had been on Twitter for at least 3,000 days and followed the ones who matched the niche I wanted.
And the quality difference was huge.

• Or Export the entire result set as a CSV file for outreach, influencer targeting, or audience building.
Extra Ways Join Date Search Helps

You can also:
- Identify early adopters of a niche

It’s one of the most underrated ways to find better accounts on X.
