Twithority.com - Twitter Search By Authority

Presented by Daymix, Twithority will enable anybody to carry out an authority search as regards the increasingly-famous micro-blogging platform. Both this site and the recently launched Twitority have caused a bit of a stir – it has been repeatedly claimed that they do not give an accurate idea of how things work out in reality. That is, the amount of people that follows somebody does not give an unequivocal representation of how valuable his or her input really is.

This is certainly a valid argument, although it can be said that if someone is mass-followed the contributions made by that person deserve at least some consideration, if only because a sizable following should be compared to a certain level of acceptance, and a certain level of acceptance speaks of a certain prominence in the scene. I would dare to say that if other word were employed instead of “Authority”, the attacks would probably be less vociferous.

At the end of the day, this search tool does it job in a correct manner – it gives back a plethora of results for you to ponder on, and (to a bigger or lesser degree, depending upon your position) showcases the way the Twitter ecosystem is configured and structured. Give it a try at the provided URL in order to draw your own conclusions, and which viewpoint seems more accurate to you.

“Twitter search by authority.”

Whether we like it or not, it gives at least some sort of representation of the way things work in the Twitterverse.

How could we grasp the true essence of what makes a Twitterer not only popular but also insightful, via a resource such as this one?
