“Google Answers” & again… Twitter!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Many SMM blog’s talk about it, so you maybe have already heard that Google shut down its “Google Answers”. Now you may see just plain on http://answers.google.com/answers/:

“We’re sorry, but Google Answers has been retired, and is no longer accepting new questions.
Search or browse the existing Google Answers index by using the search box above or the category links below.”

speed-meterThe question is simple: why did Google act in such a way? The answer is even more simple than question. Twitter overcame Google in this position. Google could not offer as quick answers as gave Twitter.

There is, for example, website organized to search for phrazes “does anyone know?” and “why does?” in Twitter. You may try: iknowtweet.com.

It seems that Twitter gets more and more positive evaluations every day. And it goes like an absolute winner in tough web contest. But the story of Twitter is quite short and we still can not be sure about it’s future. I believe, that Twitter has many chances to become a long living engine, but it must change enermously from nowadays version. We already have a few changes from the very first version: tweets of photos and 12 seconds of video tweets. On the other hand: won’t many options lead Twitter to hard and complicated working mashine?
