HOW TO quickly find if a site/service is available as a Windows 8 app

Update - There is now an official search interface for Windows Store apps and Windows Phone apps

Considering that there is currently no official Windows 8 app directory, how do you search for apps related to a keyword?

Let's say, you wanted to know about Twitter or FourSquare client apps. Type in the following queries into Google or Bing to see what related apps are already in the Microsoft Store & get more information about them -


site:apps.microsoft.com foursquare 

site:apps.microsoft.com twitter

The root site, apps.microsoft.com, currently throws a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied" error message. A Windows 8 Store directory website will probably be available after the official Windows 8 launch on October 26th.
