Ok I might be exaggerating slightly but if you think of Twitter as a human powered search engine then you can see where I am coming from.Don’t think of Twitter as a place where you can find out what so and so ate for breakfast, instead use it as a tool where you can get the best search results or problem solving information from.
A Twitter account with a quality following has the capacity to do just this. It’s generally powered by people you know, and who will respond. The next time I am in KL, and unsure of how to get to my next meeting, I might just tweet someone for the directions instead of Googling it.

Yeah twitter is super interesting and like any of these platforms becomes more valuable as you use it. I get caught up reading all the posts from our followers and it exposes me to stuff I never would have found on my own and you start to feel, not unlike when you loiter on social news sites, that you start to gain knowledge on a lot of different topics. For instance one of the MarketingEds follows brought this people search engine to my attention where you can see what someone has been up to based on the engine crawling blog entries, photos, forums etc where that name comes up. It's a little creepy but it's a lot fun.
My play for the ultimate search engine is something that searches the real world like "where's my car keys" and you can enter keywords and it can locate them, now that would be cool...but again a little creepy.
Forgot the people search site.
