Twitority: What’s the Big F’n Deal?

People love it.  People hate it.  People are upset about it.  Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.  People are unemployed and there are more job losses coming...what's the big f**king deal about an "authority"-based Twitter search?

OK, so in case you've been living in a cave, Twitority has launched.

Yesterday Loic Le Meur wrote a blog post asking for an authority-based Twitter search that would allow users to restrict their searches to Twitter users with a large number of followers.

Great, the result is Twitority.  So now, the search results are weighted by the number of followers a person has.  Sure, it's easy to game the system and build up an incredible amount of followers in a short period of time.

That's why....get this...it's OPTIONAL.  That's right.  There is no one with a gun to your head forcing you to use Twitority.  There also a new Twitter service called Tweetree.  No one's forcing you to use that either.

So why don't we all grow up a little and focus on the important things...like getting the economy back on track?
