“Many people on twitter want to add social media consulting or claims of social media expertise to their little bag of tricks. This is quite prevalent now. Indeed there seems to be a wave of people seeing social media consultancy as something they can just breeze into and use to make money from naive clients. This ruse is assisted by the fact that it is difficult to prove social media expertise, but rather easy to claim it. One obvious way to lay claim to twitter expertise is to amass a large number of friends and followers. Another is to seek high rankings in the various twitter ranking systems or on twitter leaderboards.”

Twitter is the next big search engine and they know it. Real time search is great. I find Twitter Search is becoming as useful as Google for a lot of the the stuff I’m looking up. If they are planning to index the pages that people link to, it would be phenomenal. They have to figure out a way to keep out the spam crap but it sounds like they have some smart people on board to work out those algorithms. Neat stuff.
