Your getting on my nerves now.
Woah, sorry I asked for more information!
If posting a news article means 'I' have to justify it
Well I sort of figured that if you knew the point of the original article you might have been able to shed some light on how that point was an issue. I wasn't asking for justification in any way. Also, seems that (after reading the article) that "point" is moot; the reason for the "favouring" is because twitter won't let them(google) index twitter anymore.
You seem to think your being clever with your snide remarks but your just being petty.
What snide remarks? I simply asked for a clarification.
Anyway, from reading the linked article, I still am unclear as to why this is an issue (to twitter). Seems they brought it on themselves; google isn't "Pointing" their search results, insomuch as twitter (and as the article notes, facebook) simply aren't allowing google to index their pages. Which seems a bit weird, for them to be surprised that, by removing themselves from google's index, they suddenly rank lower on many searches. I guess they didn't realize how the two sort of went hand-in-hand. Of course, now that twitter no longer is as well-indexed, Google+ bubbles to the top.
Not that I would personally put it past Google, though. Then again, I would prefer it no social network was indexed. If I, for some reason, want to google, say, "Raisin bran" I would prefer if a wikipedia page was near the top (or something similar) as opposed, to, say, a facebook fan page for raisin bran, or a twitter hashtag, or something.
