Bing, Twitter, and Google oh my

So, word on the net has it that you can now search Twitter tweets. How special is that.

Moments after I found this out... I could swear that Google decided to do the same darn thing.

While I'm not surprised by this action... I am amused that Google didn't announce that they had done it first. But leave it to Microsoft to try and wedge their feet into something where I don't believe they really belong.

Personally I think that Microsoft should leave the whole search thing to Google, Yahoo etc. They should just focus on what they do best... taking money from people and selling a sub-standard Operating System. (Wow, I sure do sound biased against them now don't I? Nah, not me!) :o)

I wonder if people will catch onto Bing... Google has become a household name and has been since 1999 ish. I know when I go to Google something... I use well Google. Even if I search something via Yahoo, or Msn (not very often mind you), I still call it googling.

Oh well, may the best *cough* Google *cough* search engine win.

And then there was Twitter

Ah Twitter, yes you know the place. Where people talk about whatever is going on in their lives. It's a place for communication with other twits... no, wait... that's not the correct term um... other tweeters... no... what's the phrase I'm looking for? Oh yes, others that have been stung by the Tweeting Bird so to speak. Do birds sting? Well, if they don't this one sure does.

It's become one of the largest fads since Myspace, Blogging, and Geocities... (remember them? oh yeah, they're soon to be gone, if not already gone).

Twitter has become a household name. No one else has done microblogging quite like it.

When it comes to ways to put your tweet out there, there are hundreds of applications to choose from.

You can tweet from your phone, from your computer, from your mobile device (iphone, ipod touch, blackberry etc.) you can tweet just from about anywhere.

Twitter doesn't sleep... you tweet it displays.

You can even post links to your blog after they've been posted via Twitter.

Twitter has become the new RSS.

So, are you tweeting? If not, why not?

Go forth and tweet!
