I am not a fan of Facebook, I have never used Twitter, I am sure there are lots of others like me. There has been a lot of talk about semantic search over recent years, but just that TALK.
- vaksel 18y agothe thing is...even if Facebook or Twitter actually do it...there is nothing to stop Google from utilizing that same data themselves to power their own version of search.
- silentOpen 18y agoTwitter's firehose is license-only. Facebook is a walled garden. There's a lot that Google can't necessarily reach for free.
- derefr 18y agoIf it really is valuable, I don't think Google would have a problem paying however much a license costs.
- chollida1 18y ago> If it really is valuable, I don't think Google would have a problem paying however much a license costs. I'd agree but keep in mind that their data may not be available. Facebook has signed an advertising agreement with Microsoft and twitter has their own search engine that they bought. If they thought having google crawl their data would cost them revenue then you can be sure they wouldn't let google access it for any amout of money.
