I had exactly the same logic.
The interesting realisation for me - twitter doesn't need to beat facebook in social or communication. That's not their game. And Google "just" enables search and can improve via real time there. Twitter will put context to content. Think the "New York Real Times" or Press Agencies.
- brador 15y agoAgreed. But Twitter needs those page views from Facebook, that "time spent online" to be on their side of the fence rather than Facebooks. Real time is the next big thing. But. Governments are cracking down. Real time, together with collaboration = swift revolutions. These are bad for all leadership positions, whether democraticly elected or not. Real time will have a very large number of obstacles placed in its path by these authorities. But it's the natural course of evolution, and will most likely win out in the end. An interesting few years ahead!
- andreasklinger 15y agoYea i was thinking to include this in the article. The crazy fact that the best providers of real time filtering are actually people working a) against spam or virus or b) filtering public opinions (like email filters)
