It's really interesting to see Twitter (and Friendfeed) content become part of the wider search ecosystem. I've noticed that twitter and FF content has begun to rank highly for some google searches I've done - and it's being indexed very fast. Summize is a more niche search play, but it enables Twitter users to find contextual content, topic-focused content etc -- ie Twitter content is expanding beyond the 'what are you doing now?' personal stuff that it started out as. Now Twitter content is recognized as being potentially useful and more than social. It's even faster than blogs, which had previously usurped MSM in terms of relevant search content. - Richard from FriendFeed MT Plugin

This past few days I've been seeing friendfeed show up in Google alerts for my name and a few keywords I'm monitoring. These services are becoming more and more relevant by the day. - Paul Short
