I think with the advent of twitter into the search market it will crush all the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. This is the great news for those who are already in the twitter and sad news for those who are still relying on Google to get business for their products and services. I admit that every business owner will have a twitter enthusiast in their business.

Indexing content from Twitter is a great idea. This brings a whole new element to understanding some sort of return on time spent using the platform.

Twitter Search’s greatest advantage over Google search would probably have to be the real time indexing of the content. This will put Twitter in a much more reliable, timely, and up to date position. Thanks!

I agree that companies should certainly be on Twitter – if they don’t claim their brand name there’s a good chance someone else will, which is quite a loss. A plan is important but to some extent you also just have to jump in and learn.

Twitter search is becoming more interesting, but it has some limitations to overcome.

Though we all fear change, I think this just might be a good change. Both organizations and individuals will be better able to establish, maintain, track and protect their brands.

I think its going to take a little creativity and some time to figure out how tweets x twitter users x links x pages x time = usefulness. Here are my thoughts.

1) I could see this helping people find out who tweeted a URL first, and this in time might be able to help divide the true first movers of a topic from the the retweets and followers. Maybe a ranking system of twitter users and topics can be created. So, I log onto twitter advanced search and type in “nate is gay” and you are the expert on the topic nate is gay cause you have tweeted the more pages discussing it.

2) There new URL index + tweets could help detect how a story moves viraly. That information would help PR people better plan campaigns online because they can pin-point how to distribute them more appropriately. For example, does some one tweet a story from the company blog first, or a PRWeb release? Then after the first tweet where is it going.
