Twitter Brings Search On Site To All
- jonursenbach 18y agoHave to wonder if they turned this on today because FriendFeed made their new real-time interface live yesterday.
- abossy 18y agoThis is definitely nice on the usability end. I wonder how much they've improved the semantics on their search, though. Just testing out "Paris Hilton" and "Hilton," it seems that they are still matching exact string patterns. This is useful for checking to see if the rumbling in my office is an earthquake (we just had a mild one in North California this afternoon), but not for much else. There's simply too much noise on Twitter; the average tweet isn't very useful. I am eagerly looking forward to the benefits of the Summize acquisition.
- ckinnan 18y agoThis implementation of blunt text search undermines the hash tag innovation on Twitter. They really should have some kind of two tiered search that recognizes that users are already self-organizing conversations...Twitter should be figuring out how to reinforce user-driven organization on the site. They should also show search results from my followers/followings in some type of priority result...the results are pretty random right now.
