There is so much buzz and talk about Twitter getting rid of Google and Twitter being the new tool. Every single article that you read about Twitter is that they do things in real time, real time discussions and buzz, which is something that Google’s results do not really do and do not really cater for at the moment.

Google has responded with so many different methods, the most recent being feeding in Twitter results into the SERPs and having the option to bring in results that were updated in the last hour. But in my mind twitter is just like any other social site around. There are a few downsides to the service in my opinion which are as follows.

Information

Information and news is all very well and good being in real time, but what if somebody wants to find old archived information or read older stories, can they do that? No, they simply cannot, because nothing is ever crawled so it is going to be a lot harder.

Products

Now this is my personal opinion is the main problem with Twitter and its something that Google are following. Google are now trying to bring in more real time results and results which are current that people have just posted or talked about. Every non tech person (the mass user) I know uses either EBay, Google or Amazon to buy something, with Google probably being the first choice. They do this because it is hassle free, its so easy to type into search and away you go. Two, its highly relevant, Google have never really let me down when I want to purchase something, they always give me trusted sites. Now what could these product searches do instead? Search on Twitter and get conversations? No thanks, or create an account and ask your 0 followers to assist you out? Or I know, expand your network and communicate with people you have hardly met, but why? Why would anyone want to do that? People have very busy lives and do not have near enough time to constantly update their tweets. What easier solution then to go to Google and type in what you are looking for, does it have to be genuine time. No, not at all, trusted products from trusted sites which have reinforced that trust with hard work and ingenious advertising.
