BH: “I got hold of Martin Källström, CEO at Twingly, and asked him a few questions about the microblog search. – Why did you decide to have a dedicated search engine for microblogs? Couldn’t the standard Twingly search engine just cover it just as well? – ‘Behind the scenes it is actually the same search engine. We have the possibility to mix results, but for now we’re waiting for a really good application of that search interface. Sometimes it is better to keep things as simple as possible. Of course you could debate that having one single search box is simpler, but this way we will be able to optimize each search result page for the circumstances.’”
