Twitter Eliminates People Search Function
November 23rd, 2008
Twitter Update
On Friday, the People Search funtion of Twitter was removed, and I can’t imagine why. It was one of Twitter’s core tools, how else are you supposed to find people? Now, the only ways to find new people are to go through everyone who your friends are following or to do a regular search and scroll through to find the actual person’s Twitter account.
Not really sure why they would purchase Summize to enhance their in-tweet search functionality earlier this year, only to eliminate a possibly more important function of actually connecting with other people. It is a social network for pete’s sake.
