I see Twitter more as a supplement to Google.

The Tweeds I receive are either dialog or short links to web pages, probably already indexed by Google. I don’t se the point of making the dialog searchable as most of it is really chat like discussions.

Marketers will be right in line with the masses. It’s about time you found the new Twitter — but don’t get too attached.

We just went live about an hour ago. And instead of just using job feeds we are actually looking at all of the millions of tweets every day. We’re using contextual search algorithms to read each tweet to identify job postings. We then follow the links (spider the URLs) to grab additional info. I think this makes us the first semantic search engine for twitter and the first search engine to go “beyond the tweet.”

In practice, we think that this can transform twitter from a communication to a publishing platform — Person tweets “we’re hiring” with a link to the job post to his friends. To individuals who know him this is valuable but outside of his immediate network the info is useless. By using contextual search techniques and by going beyond the tweet, someone who is not directly related to them can know who is hiring, where they are located, what the job is, and how to apply, all from a two word tweet “we’re hiring.”

Cheers,
Bill
