In addition, I've always believed that social media is a set of results of not necessarily the "best" news or info - instead, the most "popular". Which is why it's not the right path for every business out there :-) I wonder if SM real time results on Tiger Woods actually resulted in higher sales of high-end golf clubs, or bookings at golf courses he designed. Will people decide to buy a Nexus because of 'buzz'? Maybe - but if that's the only reason people buy something, I'll be even more worried about the lemming-ization of our culture. Hi Corey,

We'll have to see for sure. Last night at the SEMCLT event, I posed this question to one of the Senior SEO's at Red Ventures. He stated that they are seeing real time search showing up on some of their money phrases in search. That really surprised me. But in general, I just can't see Google sending their money phrases to Twitter or Facebook. It just doesn't make any sense. So I stand by what I wrote. (For now, at least.) True Scott.

While I agree using social media to pull an end-around on search engines is a poor strategy, I don't know too many social media enthusiasts advocating this anyway. But as you know, if there's a shortcut, somebody will try to take it. It's still not clear what search terms Google (and others) will include in real-time results. I Googled a friend's name (Amy Mengel), and her most recent Tweets appear in the real-time results. She's popular, but not on the scale of Tiger Woods or Google Nexus. I'm interested to see how real-time search evolves. I suspect your side of the marketing equation and mine are becoming inextricably intertwined. Hey, at least we'll be crossing paths more ;) This is an interesting topic for a post, Corey.
