Could Social Media See the End of Google’s PageRank?
- froo 18y agoShort answer? No. Given the fickleness of a lot of the users on some social media sites - the results can and probably will get skewed. For example, if I were a young girl and wanting to look for information about proms - I wouldnt want to be faced with the prospect of seeing this guy. http://imagebackup.net/images/wwckh7rbdngcggmrtmjb.jpg http://imagebackup.net/images/wwckh7rbdngcggmrtmjb.jpg which originally came from http://digg.com/people/Prom_ya_digg http://digg.com/people/Prom_ya_digg I think at last count, that had around 20,000 Diggs. Then if we were to search for someone looking for a computer, using the Digg analogy again, it would have you believe that the only computers left are Apples. I like Apple, dont get me wrong - but fanboyism is rampant on social media sites - so the results will always be not a true representation of the people of the Internet, or even close to it.
