I think it's wrong to say that "We’re not equal on Twitter"

I think both Loic Le Meur and Mike Arrington are wrong when they say that “We’re not equal on Twitter” and when they say that a tweet from someone with “thousands of followers are not equal with a tweet from someone with 100 followers”.

What is that? Elitism?

I think that every user on Twitter is equal and that everyone can be a (micro) blogger on Twitter.

I think that’s the point with Twitter!

Great to see that Robert Scoble has some good views on this.

Please Twitter developers, don’t listen to these Elitist users and keep making Twitter a better place than A-list blogosphere!

Below are some clippings about the topic:

We need filtering and search by authority. We're not equal on Twitter, as we're not equal on blogs and on the web. I am not saying someone who has more followers than yourself matters more, but what he says has a tendency to spread much faster.

I’m with him on this. Most of the time I just want to read everything people are writing about a topic to more or less take the temperature of the masses on whatever I’m researching. But sometimes it would be nice to hear what just the top users are saying on a particular topic, too, since so many more people hear their message.

Mike and Loic are wrong about Twitter search

Ranking by # of followers is a stupid idea.

Here’s why it’s a stupid idea: everyone is gaming the number of followers. And, even if everyone weren’t, popularity on Twitter isn’t a good way to measure whether a Tweet is any good or not.

Authority-based search was a great innovation in 1998, but that was ten years ago.
This is a seriously good way to make Twitter search Fail big time.
