Twitter and Google to Battle
Twitter has been one of the quickest growing sites for over a twelvemonth period now; people have literally jumped on the Tweet bandwagon. But the main problem with Twitter is that it has never really had a business plan or model before. If you look at things such as Facebook who are now earning millions of pounds of revenue from ads.
But as of late Twitter have been putting a new design on their homepage and if you visit it, it looks a lot like a search engine. Is this the route that Twitter should really be taking? And should they really be trying to compete with Google.
Ok all is well and good searching for real time conversations but I think and feel that Twitter will not stand a chance next to Google if they do not actually start crawling sites and ranking them based on popularity and talk.
They can of course keep the chatter and talk going but what happens when people actually want to see information about a site that has buzz.
But if Twitter actually think about this carefully then they could begin to out smart the likes of Google and Microsoft. Instead of actually ranking sites on onsite and offsite factors they can instead do it from the Twitter platform. Twitter will grow to reach every place in the world so anything that is currently being talked about deserves to get the coverage and because it is all controlled by Twitter they will easily be able to control the spam.
Anyhow if this does happen you can expect that Google will be doing everything in their power to take control of Twitter and integrate the algo into their search.
For great SEO and outstanding web design
