So if I understand this post in TechCrunch right, Twitter is planning to index the web-pages tweets link to. Using Twitter Search you’d be searching not only tweets, but web-pages that are part of the conversation, too.

Hmm: is that going to be a good thing? I tweet about each post I write, naturally with a link. So each of my posts is going to be in the Twitter search index – I like that.

But when I use Twitter Search I’m not going to get only Tweets in the result – but a lot of web-pages,  too. Possibly more web-pages than Tweets. Is that what I want when I run a Twitter-Search?

Twitter’s strength is the “Right Now“, the real-time search. What do people say at this moment? Not so much “What do people say at this moment about something they posted a year ago?”.

If Twitter Search should be including web-pages that are part of the conversation, I’d like to have that as an option, not as the standard procedure.
