On Twitter, cred will count!
p2pnet news view P2P:- Twitter is getting into the search biz big time.
According to Twitter’s new vp of operations, Santosh Jayaram, formerly vp of search quality for Google, Twitter Search, “will soon begin to crawl the links included in tweets and begin to index the content of those pages”.
This will make it a, “much more complete index of what’s happening in real time on the Web and make it an even more credible competitor to Google Search for people looking for very timely content,” says CNet News.
Not only but also, Twitter Search will have “reputation” ranking, meaning when anyone searches on a “trending” topic (one that’s so big “it gets its own link in the Twitter.com sidebar”) Twitter will take into account the reputation of the person who wrote each tweet and rank the search results in part based on that, says the story, adding:
“Jayaram did not say precisely how reputation would be calculated; he indicated that engineers are still figuring that out.”
