I like twitter but lately they have become more of a bunch of spam.I just got to view a new startup www.bueno.com this looks promising .When you register they give you a free USA phone number to go along with your own page similar to facebook but with a little more juice.They seem to be asking (whats going on?) There plan is a different approach with the phone and voicemail and click to call friends this can become something interesting.They rather want the users to see what others are doing and put those people together for a more personal experience just by asking whats going on? This makes for an interesting new startup.Lets see how they hold up with them gicing away a free US number that you can make and receive calls from anyone in the world for free. Check it out www.bueno.com

Fast maybe, what about accurate and reliable or even relevant. Miss information is fast more often then not, however real information and facts seem to come by at a slower pace and do not rely on Twitter.

I just hope this doesn't insight people to try to crack it or take advantage of it by spamming links.

Very interesting...

I don't know about competing with Google in terms of search, but the folks at Twitter do seem to have a compelling use case: achieving a good understanding of *who* is searching for things and doing so in real-time on location-aware devices...

Hmmmmm.

This is a hype kind of statement: "Crawling links will give Twitter’s search engine the scope it needs to compete with Google."

The reputation ranking system is certainly an interesting concept and one I'll be watching with interest. I agree with Dave that this does sound ambitious, but at the same time, hats off to Twitter for announcing these steps. I use the word ambitious because utlimately, sentiment scoring is one key aspect of detemining reputation score, and while you could base it on number of followers/tweets, this isn't as reliable a metric and can easily be manipulated by abusers. As a developer and full-service provider of online monitoring and measurment tools, I'm fully aware of the technical limitations and I have yet to see a machine method that is both accurate and reliable. Ultimately human review is the only way to tackle the assignment of precision reputation scoring and measurement.

On a related noted, I just recently noticed that socialmention has taken some steps in assigning sentiment scoring to mentions. IMHO, this is all good for amusement and social media advancements, but certainly the kind of thing that search properties need to carefully approach because if it isn't done right, it could create a bad impression that might otherwise have been avoided if the focus was placed on getting the search part right.

It's kinda what we've all been waiting for. The future of Twitter is search, according to everybody inside and outside Twitter. I still wonder if they'll profit enough to recoop the costs of going so long without a profit - but I hope they cure my skepticism.

I love twitter search. But it will not take over google, long-standing webpages and information found on google is a still a huge resource. However it will be interesting to see the dent it makes because I use twitter search more then google and as more people and conversations join twitter its only getting better.

Just have to limit the spammers. But so does google.

I think Twitter can benefit from similar approaches adopted by web search engines such as Google. TwitterRank would be an example of reputation ranking. See my post about "Ideas for improving Twitter search" - http://openenterprise.wordp...

Twitter search or for that matter Wolfram Alpha can not challenge Google in near future. The competition will only liven up the scene.

I keep telling people that Twitter is not a celebrity driven fad. It's more than a bunch of gossip. I'm not so certain about the "reputation ranking system" but I'll be watching it develop. I wonder if they're trying to create a more favorable environment for marketing via Twitter?

I wonder if rankings will reduce the "democracy" of twitter and what it will do to it's sense of community. I would prefer to see rankings personalized, a la facebook. Also wondering how long till the google/twitter merger breaks...

This makes no sense at all. Twitter's search advantage is real-time conversation. It beats Google at that, and probably always will, because it is already gathering the data in real-time. Why would it want to clutter up its results with something where Google is the acknowledged leader? The time, energy, and server costs will swamp Twitter's development efforts. It sounds like Twitter has entered the God phase of any killer app. This is where the company believes that because they have already built one great app they can build anything else and it will be equally great. That is the sign of a peak. The downhill slide soon follows.

I'm excited about the new integrations Twitter is making for search. While they're current engine is useful, it is of course, very limited. It will be great to be able to see the link values as well.
