Web Your Name® on Indexing Social Media?
Google Dead End Twitter Road.
Marketing At It's Best!

I have been in business long enough to know that the people at the top don't really give a rat's ass about what people on the bottom think. I finally realized that no matter what is in the best interest of a business, a business is going to do what they want to do. So few businesses are run democratically. You don't have employees voting on issues or voting on direction the company should take. The problem is that the CEO's and the executives make all of the decisions, without ever really considering what the "common man" thinks.

 

I finally decided to blog about it because IF I had actually sent my opinion directly to Google's CEO, it would have likely been ignored, just like it would have been ignored had I sent it directly to Matt Cutts. At least if someone of some stature, like Matt Cutts, told Google's CEO that he personally thought that indexing Facebook and Twitter was a completely self-destructive move, would the CEO listen to what Matt Cutts is saying?

The problem is that if Matt Cutts really believed it was a bad idea, how far would he go to make his point? Would he put his job working at Google on the line? Absolutely not. In the end, if Google indexes Facebook and Twitter and it ends up costing Google X million or X billion dollars, the CEO won't care and Matt Cutts isn't going to say, "I told you so.".

The problem is that corporate blunders cost every company money. The mistakes a company makes usually end up coming directly out of the little man's pocket, not the executive's pockets

In the mean time, while Google is making a HUGE MISTAKE trying to keep up with content on Facebook and Twitter. It's all intantaneous communication between people that already are connected. Why on Earth would Google waste so much money trying to duplicate such a large and growing system.

This is going to cause an enormous additional load on the company that it doesn't need to take on. I realize that Microsoft is trying to break into the market and lead the way by indexing and searching Facebook and Twitter, but let those fucking idiots run full speed and blind, down that dead end street. If someone else jumps off a bridge, and you won't jump off the bridge, why would you follow them into a dead end? Microsoft Bing will never be comporable to Google and everyone half of a brain, knows that. Facebook and Twitter posts become unimportant almost as fast as they become important. They hold immediate value that is lost just as fast as it is gained. Can't they read the sign that clearly says DEAD END?
