Twitter Search Fail
March 17, 2009
For Twitter bashers, here’s a post for your collection. Navigate to BusinessInsider here and read “Twitter Search Not All That Useful at #SXSW”. For me the most interesting comment was:
But the #sxsw problem raises an interesting issue for real time search: If the firehose of information is already unmanageable, how will anyone make sense of anything if Twitter becomes as big as Facebook? Interestingly, both Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) have recently dismissed the idea of incorporating real time search into their offerings.
Yep, sounds a bit like the dead tree publishing crowd explaining that online was a trivial technology. Might be an opportunity for those less eager to dismiss real time text flows in my opinion.
