That’s one reason why I can’t take the article Why Google or Yahoo! should buy Twitter seriously. That and other gems like “Twitter offers a potentially superior signal to noise ratio than blog content.” Blogs are already fairly noisy as it is (ahem), but is there even a signal to be wrenched from Twitter? The case this author makes is that Google must(!) buy Twitter because its search is on the ascent. Does this mean when people are at lunch, their idle thoughts while killing time in the senate, that they’re waiting for the subway, and other ephemera the next big thing in search?
Also, who uses words like corpus, metadata, and grok in an article that isn’t full of new-media hot air?
Twitter schmitter. Bones schmones. Mr. Tim Toon is now a Hollywood fake commercial in a film maker. Congrats Toon! We just got back from seeing Watchmen and I was stoked to see your clip. Or another clip that looked amazing like yours.
