Where I hope the world is headed
One of my biggest hates in the world are cigarettes. I don’t mind if people smoke so much, I more mind when it’s invasive into my life. The plume that gets blown into my face first thing in the morning as I get off the bus, the disrespectful person who stands in the doorway of a cafe because “technically, it is outside,” or the people who ignore the rules of society all together.
This little win from Germany is really where I hope the planet is headed: let’s take cigarette machines and begin selling knowledge in the form of books. Let’s stop killing ourselves (and others) and start educating ourselves (and others).

Toilet Paper Devliered Via Twitter
Twitter user naika_tei was in a real predicament recently. He found himself in the male toilets of Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, only to discover there was no toilet paper!
We’ve all been there and it usually doesn’t end, well, cleanly. Not to worry, social media to the rescue! He tweeted his dilemma: a few retweets and, twenty minutes later, a kind soul located him and provided some paper.

Twitter is the fastest growing search engine
Twitter Founder Biz Stone at Aspen Ideas Festival announced that Twitter now has over 800 million search queries per day.
Twitter’s monthly searches now surpass Yahoo and Bing combined
This is up 33% from April, where at Twitter’s Chirp conference Stone said Twitter was serving 600 million search queries per day. This roughly equates to 24 billion searches per month which is more than Bing (4.1) and Yahoo (9.4) combined.
We have indicated all along that Twitter & Facebook would be bigger search competition for Google than Yahoo and Bing. The fact that this is coming to fruition so soon is astounding. Social search and social commerce are becoming reality and it’s a great thing to see. Keep in mind we haven’t even mention YouTube and its social search activity.
