Twitter Is the New Search Engine Choice

Reading tweets and stories that @Biz reported that Twitter search is up 33% in a month (and it’s a month old data). So I started exploring related posts.

SearchEngineLand does a great job of analyzing it (using the month older data)

Twitter does 18 billion searches a month, working off the 600 million per day figure? Williams said the monthly figure is closer to 19 billion.

How’s that compare against the major search engines? Working off comScore figures from December 2009 for worldwide search queries, we have:

  • Google: 88 billion per month
  • Twitter: 19 billion per month
  • Yahoo: 9.4 billion per month
  • Bing: 4.1 billion per month

Where do you search?

Think You Know Your Market? Keep Watching

I enjoyed watching this.

No matter that there are some differing views on many of the points they are trying to make. Once you watch the whole “Death of Publishing” video you’ll have much more to think about.

We’ve discussed these issues on many other posts here, so I won’t spoil the experience by restating what I think. I will note that it’s especially interesting how they chose to present this message.. using social media 🙂

Do watch all of this.. it WILL make you think.
