Oh ja, Twitter’s not going anywhere!
In response to a guest post I did over at Search Engine People, a few people expressed opinions that Twitter is a flash-in-the-pan and won’t stick around like Google.
As Barry Welford rightly pointed out: We remember very clearly that when Google was new it was heralded as a flash-in-the-pan too. But I knew instinctively (OK let’s call it women’s intuition here) that Google was going to be big. I predicted it at the time, but sadly there are none of my web pages around from that time to prove it.
I’m predicting that Twitter will be even bigger than Google. NOTE TO TWITTER ADMIN: get ready for what’s coming now. You need to fix yourselves up so you can cope with the traffic and get some serious search algos in place. Don’t tell us that we didn’t warn you!
Just take a look at these Twitter stats. And it’s still really early days yet.
