Here's a fun speculative question from Martino in Trento, Italy.

0:00:05.269,0:00:09.570
They ask, "Which search media does return the more reliable information: Google or Twitter?"

Now, don't go hating on Twitter or trying to, you know, make people bust heads. Twitter has many many great uses.

0:00:16.590,0:00:23.539
It's great for breaking realtime sort of news, it's fantastic for asking your friends. And Google, on the other hand, we

0:00:23.539,0:00:30.739
try to return really reliable, really reputable information. So, if you're sorting by date, Twitter is fantastic.

If you want an answer to a question that's been around for a while, Google's great for that. And, you know, try both for

0:00:37.139,0:00:41.749
different situations. If you don't have as many friends, then you might not be able to get the questions that you want

0:00:41.749,0:00:47.979
answered answered on Twitter. And I wouldn't be surprised if spammers eventually see traffic on Twitter and they're

0:00:47.979,0:00:54.169
like, "Mwahahahaha." Because if you're only sorting by date, then any new fad that comes along, the spammers might try

0:00:54.169,0:01:00.000
to jump onto that. So, they're different. They're good for different things. I would say use whatever works best for you.
