RWW: “Until now, a lot of users were probably not even aware of the fact that Twitter had a search engine, and Biz Stone explicitly mentions that private accounts will not be indexed by Twitter’s search engine. According to Stone, over 90% of all Twitter users make their updates public. – Twitter’s real-time search is probably one of Twitter’s most valuable features, as it allows you to keep track of an event as it unfolds in real-time. Here at RWW, we use it daily – either through Tweetdeck’s or Twhirl’s built-in search, or directly on the web.”
Mashable: “The power of the feature is clear. It’s not only a real-time sentiment index and chat room-like feature for different topics, but also an amazing way to address one of new user’s big problems – finding people to follow, beyond the “suggested users” that was recently added. Once search goes live to everyone, the value of Twitter should become immediately more obvious, and could also help keep the company on its incredible growth trajectory.”

TC: “Until now only developers have been able to take advantage of Facebook Connect. This new widget represents the first time anyone, using a small snippet of code, can include some of the functionality afforded by the new platform. They’ll still need to create an account, but compared to the effort required to fully implement Facebook Connect, this should be much easier.”
Mashable: “When Facebook recently released their, ‘I like this,’ feature they were already starting to infringe on FriendFeed territory, but now that Facebook users can easily add their comments from across the blogosphere, Facebook activity feeds will start to look even more like FriendFeed streams. – Plus, today’s move appears to strike up competition with popular commenting platform Disqus. We get the feeling that the comment box is the just first release in a lineup of social widgets for Facebook Connect, and we have to wonder what other startups they’ll put under fire.”
RWW: “What is most important about this announcement, though, is that Facebook continues to open up its platform to third parties. Earlier this month, third-party developers got access to users’ status updates, notes, and links. Now, Facebook is allowing bloggers and publishers to implement some of Facebook’s core features outside of Facebook’s own site. Facebook use to be a closed off silo, but this is changing rapidly right now and it will be interesting to see how Facebook’s users will react to this.“
