This article is a little ridiculous. Although I'm not a Twitter user, so maybe I don't fully understand the dynamics of using it as a search agent. From what I do know about it, I know I wouldn't want to use it. 1. Twitter has nowhere close to the amount of users that Google has and never will. 2. There is no measure of quality for the types of results you're going to get back. One man's treasure is another mans trash and I don't want to get a bunch of garbage thrown at me. 3. Google is always there and I can search it to my hearts content. If I start bugging my entire Twitter network with requests, I'll lose my network quickly. 4. I'm not sure how this creates any productivity. If you have friends willing to do your searches for you, they're losing productivity and it's not even zero sum, it's a multiple of how many responses you get and you yourself aren't really gaining all that much in probability. 5. Your trusted network can go down at any time. What happens when people aren't around or somebody you once trusted Goatse's you? You'll be crawling back to Google in no time.
