Comments on: Google soft-launches commenting – UGC search results http://www.freshnetworks.com/blog/2009/05/google-soft-launches-commenting-ugc-search-results/ Social media, Web 2.0 and online communities Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:45:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Alain Saffel http://www.freshnetworks.com/blog/2009/05/google-soft-launches-commenting-ugc-search-results/comment-page-1/#comment-4212 Alain Saffel Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:31:37 +0000 http://www.freshnetworks.com/blog/?p=664#comment-4212 And of course the danger with Google doing this is that people will, of course, try to game the system. This will make people question the results they get in Google. Also, have you ever tried to use Twitter search? It's terrible! It may be useful for what's hot right now, but the database doesn't go back very far (maybe a few months) and finding things you know are there can be next to impossible. Twitter search has its place, but I rarely use it. It's just not that good. Google search and Twitter search are different creatures, so Google shouldn't feel threatened. One bit of advice: you might like to define acronyms when you write a post. Not everyone knows that UGC is 'user generated content.'

Thanks for pointing out the difference between Facebook and Twitter in such a simple form. I didn’t know this about Google.
