Way cool! I'm finding that my "information ratio" is around 6:1 measured by twitter:search saves to pinboard (a Delicious-like personal URL saving site). By that I mean that I store 6 URLs from twitter conversations (& transitive closure) for every 1 Google search I want to save.
I read an article recently that many demographics have the same phenomenon .. basically social media (twitter, FB, G+) are their primary source of information, and the web search is low on their list. Partly I think that is because the web is so huge that phrasing a search request well is tough. Anyway, interesting that Twitter just might have a reason for 2-factor auth. Google does a good job, with a small app too rather than only sms for the pin. -- Owen On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Parks, Raymond <[email protected]> wrote: > In an amazing coincidence, we were just talking about why Twitter would > matter in a different context. > > You may have seen the WSJ origin of this - > > > http://hotair.com/archives/2013/08/06/traders-sneaking-peeks-at-government-economic-reports/ > > There was a mention of Sandia's work for Bureau of Labor a while back in > the press - we reluctantly red-teamed their pressroom security.
