“On Facebook alone there are 45 MM status updates a day, and it is estimated that there are another 27 MM tweets (the equivalent of a Status Update) on Twitter every day”

Regardless of who drives more status updates, I wonder how long before people are updating their status more often than they’re searching? My guess is around 5 years (but some of those status updates might come from automated check-ins)

It was only a couple of months ago that Sheryl Sandberg said that there were 40 million status updates a day on Facebook. Maybe that’s where the ’40′ figure came from?

Personally, I do not see enough substance in discussion on the social networks. Although I'm not an absolute expert I have also been somewhat disappointed with Bing. I've done several searches and evaluated results pages and Google, in my opinion gives much better associated results.</p> I’ve been reading a lot lately on this real-time search and just like anything else it has its pros and cons.
