I started using Twitter three weeks ago; that’s how I ended up reading this article. Though I had done extensive research for almost two years on new media technology, digital sociality, and literacy, the connections I quickly made on Twitter led me to many resources I’d never seen. They way I see it, all the like-minded people I follow on Twitter are like a research team, so of course I discover more through Twitter than Google. What is more effective? One person searching a topic, or 100 people (each with their own unique approach) searching a topic? The answer is obvious.

Here’s what I love about this article: it proves that people are better searchers than computers. Chalk one up for humanity! Seriously, Twitter is much more ORGANIC than Google. And everybody knows that organic is better than synthetic.

2010 is the era of social media, but I don't think that social media is killing search. Still social media is a part of search.

Thanks, Tac. Your observation about my comment being "a post unto itself" led me to take the comment back home, so to speak, and integrate it into a blog post I'd been writing on the commoditization of Twitter followers, where it provided a missing piece to tie together a few loose ends at the conclusion.
