Why Twitter is much better than Google

For these several months that I use Twitter so active, I suddenly realized that its functional base and variety of addon-services, Twitter-based tools and AIR-apps for Twitter-posting and monitoring provide me with really powerful functionality and efficiency about searching and sharing trend topics as well as specific niche ones. That's really better even comparing with... Google itself.

Just look: most of the news and hot trends are widely covered by tweeple whom I'm following or who follows up my account on Twitter. Most of the topics and presentations online are shared via social networks, blogs, SlideShare or posted somewhere else like that, and all this info is reflected via Twitter like via informational mirror. Using TweetDeck or Mixero as monitoring and grouping tools for the amount of tweeted, re-tweeted and cross-posted information, I'm getting news, facts, trends, media and targeted content of certain business or entertainment topics ASAP and more quickly than any newspaper, TV, FM-station or even search engine can give me. The real focusing on the targeted information for the certain purposes and subjects - that's what is Twitter about. While Google still needs at least from 8 to 24 hours to show up hot-trended topics via results of web-search, Twitter just makes the same "on-the-go". This is the case when users powerfully socialize information as well as information wakes up interest of the users. Twitter is much better than Google because it interacts much faster and covers the same area in a shorter period of time. Should this feature be used by Google? I think, yes, this should be used for developing the level of search-engine's productivity and efficiency. Filtering up the content and spreading the buzz makes Twitter a powerful add-on for traditional search, blogging and RSS-cast and a real competitor to the well-known old-school model of data search.
