Google Search Appliance Speaks Tweet
December 11, 2009
In one of those odd Google technical lurches, the Google Search Appliance now speaks tweet. For the unknowing, a tweet is a Twitter message. If I think real hard, I understand that social communication is the “new” thing. It follows that the Google Search Appliance should index tweets. I think it would be nice to invest a bit of time in security, connectors, and access to structured data. Google’s wizards obviously don’t agree, finding tweet content more important. I think organizations have some pretty useful structured data, but I assume that the post 1994 crowd finds that type of corporate problem trivial, irrelevant, or (most damning) “not interesting.” If you want to know more about the speak tweet movement, you will want to read “Google Search Appliance Goes Tweet Crazy” in the Washington Post’s version of a the original TechCrunch article.

I feel compelled to alert the MARC train schedulers that I was not paid to report on this timely enhancement of the Google Search Appliance. All aboard for real time search in the enterprise. No database access, allowed.
