In terms of speed, wouldn't it be:
(i) TMZ (heh)
(ii) Twitter
(iii) After about 30 minutes, google/google news
So Twitter is essentially good for the 30 minute gap.
Obviously there's value with getting news fast. Twitter helps with this. But is there any room left in the real-time market? Now that Google, Bing and Yahoo index real-time conversations, the only thing left is building widgets and features onto Twitter. In otherwords, the oneriot's, webmynds, crowdeye's and kikin's are becoming basically worthless. The once ripe market of Real-time search is now filled by Google(relevancy) and Twitter(real-time).
- enjo 17y agoBasically the only thing I find twitter useful for IS real-time search. I watch twitter during Apple Keynotes for instance. We saw a TON of police one night while walking home, I pulled out my phone and hit Twitter and instantly had some idea (if not always completely accurate) of what was going on. Real-time search is useful for, well, finding out what is going on in real-time.
