			<title>Real Time Search</title>
			<link>http://www.huomah.com/Internet-Marketing/Social-Media-Marketing/Sorry-Twitter-You-Are-Not-a-Search-Engine.html#comment-2345</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I believe that the real power of Twitter is how it can deliver real-time updates in specific situations. Think of the protests in Bangkok or Iran. I have read multiple accounts of people who used Twitter over other mediums to get the latest news, coordinate meeting spots, call for help and come to the aid of those in need of help. No other medium can provide this kind of service. Once all the marketeers move on to the next big thing, I really hope that Twitter sticks around for this purpose alone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You can't say you understand search if you think Twitter is not a search tool. Search is not about the Web. It's about content and that content may be located anywhere, on or off the Web. Twitter is not a Web index, but it most certainly provides a powerful search interface and that is why it is used very heavily. Could it be improved? Sure. But so could Google search. In fact, Twitter does a better job of searching Twitter content than Google does of searching Google content.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Viewing shortened URLs from your network of friends is fine. But viewing a list of shortened URLs from a list of unknown users can be iffy." Solution: Get the Greasemonkey TinyURL decoder script. Best thing ever. Also - I agree that Twitter's search index is seriously lacking. A 7 day archive, which I believe they have now, is weak. If they fix that up, though, there's much potential.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Glad someone else has also piped up and stating what should be obvious to folks in search. Social platforms search features are not the same as traditional search. The mindsets are also different. Searching on twitter, i'm looking for things on Twitter, a tweet i missed, a person's twitter account. If i'm looking for a hotel, i'm going to use a search engine. The same applies to Facebook. 2 very distinct platforms and information i would say? Perhaps someone should coin the term "social engine" instead?]]></description>

			<title>Challenges of Social Search</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Activity stream data found in services like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz, tends to be unstructured and limited. Hence, most of the social search engines simply use a "key word" and "recency" approach to delivering search results. And they don't bother to interpret user intent. We have found that by making use of semantic processing to aid our relevancy algorithms and other natural language interpretive tools to interrogate and verify data plus identifying and appending relevant meta-data (where is the tweeter, when was it tweeted, are there any other supporting documents, what else have they tweeted) that we can deliver relevant, actionable search results. Here's an example of how we use those tools in the employment vertical http://bit.ly/czcw8M cheers, @williamfischer ]]></description>
