Twitter as a search engine
June 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
This is the first in a series of posts that will examine unconventional uses for Twitter. Check back later in the week for the next installment.
Twitter has held the attention of the web like I haven’t seen a product do in a long time. While the premise is simple — briefly answer the question, “What are you doing?” — the benefits are as individual as its users. Some share little details of their day. Others promote projects they’re working on, while others connect with far-flung friends, seek help to puzzling questions or simply “eavesdrop” on the informal thoughts of bloggers or business owners they admire.
You may use Twitter for any or all of these purposes, or even something different entirely. Today, I’ll talk about using Twitter as a search engine, and its advantages over Google.
