No longer will your Tweets from Twitter be only seen by your followers and friends for just a few days or weeks. Google is now indexing all of peoples tweets in a big, searchable database. Recently Google has announced that it has a new search feature that lets users look at the entire history of tweets in anytime frame and in any subject. This new feature is set to debut in the next few days.
All you would have to do now is enter the search term and select the update option then with a click of a button you will find results of tweets on that search condition dating back to February 2010. And Google in working on progressing this date back feature to eventually get all of the past tweets dating back to the first one made on March 21, 2006.
Here is a example of the new feature
With this new Google made feature you can see all tweets on a specific day, month or even year with the handy graph that is displayed at the top of the page results. Google says that these features are pretty useful because you can see what people we talking about on a day of a major event or significant occurrence. But for those people who want to keep their privacy, you don't have to be included in this feature because you have the option of having your time line public or not.
I feel like most twitter users will not use the privacy feature. I mean why write onto twitter if you don't want to be heard. And I like the idea of being able to search what people say on big events. Like political views or religious events.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with Dan on this. But I don't really like tweeting or anything like that..its good that people want to get heard but sometimes it is just too much.
