adi,
I’m not sure where your coming from with the “Is Twitter becoming the new Wikipedia?”.
Do you mean is Twitter overtaking Wikipedia in the Google listings? Probably yes, but Twitter’s content may well be rich in that it is condensed into 140 character bites, but they don’t compare as reference sources. Twiiter is more of a link farm when compared to Wikipedia.
Hi John, yes, that’s the kind of thing I was pondering. Wikipedia dominates the serps at the moment, it’d be interesting if Twitter got into a similar position.
