I am following someone who has a lot of tweets. I want to look at their tweets from three months ago. On their twitter web page, if I scroll down, it keeps showing their older tweets, but using this method will take too long. Is there an easier way?
Try one of the solutions explained here “How To Search Old Tweets Until Twitter Lets You Download Yours” at the Wayback Machine (archived 15 April 2015)

1Really impressed with Topsy. They had a clear filter to a single user, min date, max date, and sorted by newest/oldest to find the tweet I was looking for. – Bluu Sep 24 '13 at 18:25
Using third party applications are great for searching as I use Tweetdeck. Perhaps if you're searching for a specific tweet by that individual you are following, search by keywords, that is if you're searching for a certain tweet instead of all of that person's tweets.
