Is Twitter becoming THE reference for the content web?

2 pointsby kalkat15 lat temu1 comments

Few weeks back, Twitter announced that the tweet button is present on 3 million websites now. Even looking around, almost every piece of new content (esp textual content), whether it is a WSJ article, blog post by an unknown guy or a local newspaper item, gets tweeted about almost as soon as it is published.

If almost all (or a lot of) of the web's content is getting referenced on Twitter, then can Twitter become the most authoritative source for finding relevant information? On any and all topics?

Twitter is good creating awareness, but not the best at driving traffic, right now Stumbleupon is if you have a credible account, engaging content, and a little bit of luck. Many blog posts receive thousands of views from that site daily.
