Real-time Search Needs More Time In The Oven

I was reading this article of Robert’s today and for the first time in awhile, discovered that he and I agreed on something! Scoble is of the opinion that Twitter has little value in the long-term value arena. I could not agree more.

More over, I would add that the idea of using Twitter as a search engine seems rather premature in any sense. Look, as a communication tool I think that Twitter is top notch. It’s really difficult to come close to the instant access and value that Twitter has provided its users. Sadly, it makes a lousy way to archive information to be referenced later on.

Where I think Scoble and I part ways is he sees Facebook as apparently, making this archived information available for search queries. Eh, yeah…to a degree. But like the posts to any social networking site, it is also filled to the gills with spam. Not sure how sifting through that data is really beneficial to anyone…
