Everybody is talking about ‘real time’ search results, and Social media has been hailed since it began as being the only ‘true’ insight into real time trends online around.
So now, the nice guys at Google had a sit down with the big players such as Twitter and Facebook, and will be including social results in their standard results pages.
They have created this lovely magical look and feel promo vid to show us how it will work. Take note of the ‘home alone’ stylee sounding music – designed to inspire awe only ever felt in the presence of Disney land.
This integration is an exciting step forward in the way we will receive information and inevitably our search behavior will no doubt change because of this.
As a person whose job can completely change in the way that search engines compile sites to be included in the search engines results pages, this major change might seem relatively small at the moment – but what will this mean long term. I believe this change alone – if it takes off – could in fact be the beginning of the end for SEO and the way the industry works.
I honestly believe that in five years time, my job will consist much more of online PR and much more ‘people centred’ opposed to the site manipulation and ‘robot’ centred approach to online marketing which is common today.
Google….all eyes on you now – don’t f*ck this up!
