Dell credits at least $1 million in revenue to Twitter, which it began using in March 2007 as a medium to notify Twitter users of ocassional sales. Bob Pearson, vice president of communities and conversation at Dell, says Twitter’s influence on sales is likely larger than the $1 million it can directly tie to the network.

Battle For Twitter Realtime Search Results Domination

There appears to be some competition in the quest for Twitter search engine domination.  There are 3 companies who all believe they can do it better than Twitter can do themselves.  The following is what they have to say about themselves:

Topsy:  Topsy is a new kind of search engine, with a new way of looking at the Internet. Topsy doesn’t think the Internet is a collection of documents. Or even a web of documents. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations. Topsy treats people differently from the webpages they create and the things they say. And Topsy sees that people in every community are connected in a web of relationships, where each person influences other people to read, talk and think about things.

Topsy listens to the conversations taking place all the time on the living, social web. This is the rapidly growing, exciting world of Twitter, Blogs, Flickr, Digg, Yelp, Identica and many other communities. People use these communities to share reviews, opinions, messages, comments and discussions about things. Topsy indexes those things. Topsy indexes what people are talking about.

When you search for something on Topsy, such as “free music“, it finds snippets of conversations that match what you’re looking for. Topsy results are the things people link to, when they’re talking about your search terms. Topsy ranks results based on how well they match your search terms, and the influence of the people talking about them.

Because of how Topsy works, Topsy can do things other search engines don’t usually do. Topsy results are fresh, because they’re based on what you’re talking about right now. Or this week. Or the past month. Topsy has “trackback” pages for everything in its index, showing what everyone is saying about that thing. Conversations are about people, and Topsy has pages for every person it listens to – listing the things you’ve been talking about.

The first index is based exclusively on Twitter statuses and the wonderful people who write them.

OneRiot: Increasingly, the web’s most interesting content is what our friends and other people are talking about, sharing and looking at right now. However, when people search for that content, traditional search engines struggle to surface these fresh, socially-relevant results. That’s the hole – and it’s a big one – that OneRiot is filling.

OneRiot crawls the links people share on Twitter, Digg and other social sharing services, then indexes the content on those pages in seconds. The end result is a search experience that allows users to find the freshest, most socially-relevant content from across the realtime web.

Crowdeye: Real time … Social … Search … That’s what those of us at CrowdEye are obsessed with. The internet has been evolving for years into a place where information flows quicker and quicker. Now it is becoming increasingly possible to tap into that stream of bits and bytes and use it to draw conclusions and make informed decisions based on the “wisdom of the crowds”.

Twitter is a phenomenon. Its growth is a genuine hockey-stick. It’s everywhere from Oprah to the front page of Time Magazine, and countless Hollywood celebrities are using it. Together with sites like Facebook and MySpace, it forms the core of today’s “social web.” CrowdEye is happy to be part of a thriving ecosystem growing out from this core.

 CrowdEye is a new generation of search engine which looks at the worldwide web in a new way. By tracking discussions on Twitter, we can help our users find out what’s important to them right now in real time. CrowdEye has created innovative technology to scan through tweets, retweets, twitter links and more. We then provide you with powerful yet easy ways to slice, dice, summarize and categorize the data to answer your questions. Whether you’re interested in following your brand, baseball, celebrities, movies, or anything else people are talking about – CrowdEye can help you know what people are thinking.

Who will become the realtime search engine of choice for Tweets all around the world?  The jury is still out, in fact the race has barely even begun.  When you account for Twitter‘s own realtime search capabilities and the other big 3 search engines, I think these companies will need a lot of luck on their side if they are to make impact.  We’ll check back on this in a few months to see what the realtime search landscape looks like.

Alarming Twitter Statistics Revealed

Much of Twitter‘s growth appears to be fueled by celebrities and online marketers.  With its relative newness, I think most users just require more time to get acquainted with Twitter before they will take full advantage of it.

• 72.5% of all users have joined since January 2009
• 85.3% of all Twitter users post less than one update per day
• 21% of users have never posted a Tweet
• 93.6% of users have less than 100 followers, while 92.4% follow less than 100 people.
• 5% of Twitter users account for 75% of all activity
• New York has the most Twitters users, followed by Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco and Boston; while
• Detroit was the fast-growing city over the first five months of 2009
• More than 50% of all updates are published using tools, mobile and Web-based, other than Twitter.com.
• TweetDeck is the most popular non-Twitter.com tool with 19.7% market share.
• There are more women on Twitter (53%) than men (47%)
• Of the people who identify themselves as marketers, 15% follow more than 2,000 people. This compares with 0.29% of overall Twitter users who follow more than 2,000 people

Interesting facts about Twitter‘s current user base, perhaps it will look much different in 6 months.

Twitter To Implement Verification System For Celebrities

To combat celebrity user authentication, Twitter will implement a verification system.  Stung by several incidents of impostors posing as celebrities on the popular social networking site, Twitter is implementing a verification system to authenticate the identities of famous people.  The “Verified Accounts” plan was outlined by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone in a blog posted Saturday. Under the initiative, Twitter will begin verifying the accounts of “public officials, public agencies, famous artists, athletes and other well-known individuals at risk of impersonation” and provide those accounts with a special seal, Stone said.

The blog said Twitter will be “experimenting with a beta preview” of the plan this summer but didn’t otherwise provide specific dates for the effort. “We hope to verify more accounts in the future, but due to the resources required, verification will begin only with a small set” of famous Twitterers, the blog said.

Last month St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa sued Twitter in San Francisco Superior Court after an impostor created an account in his name. That account was deleted, but in his blog Stone denied reports that Twitter had settled the lawsuit and paid legal fees in the case.

“With due respect to the man and his notable work, Mr. La Russa’s lawsuit was an unnecessary waste of judicial resources bordering on frivolous. Twitter‘s terms of service are fair and we believe will be upheld in a court that will ultimately dismiss Mr. La Russa’s lawsuit,” Stone wrote.

Last month Twitter was the target of an expletive-laced blog rant by rapper Kanye West after an impostor created a Twitter account in his name. Twitter suspended that account, as it has other fake celebrity accounts, including one for the Dalai Lama.

Stone said that at least initially the verification system would not be tested with businesses, although he hinted that idea could provide Twitter with an “opportunity” in the future.

We will wait and see where Twitter goes with this one.
