Loic don’t depend on that “authority” site, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be!!

In my most recent post Loic was wanting to be able to search by authority and be able to find information that is really high on “authority”. I will guess he is happy with “Twitority” because now you can search base on the so called “Authority”.

[ad#tmi-right-1-1]I say this will not show the really juicy stories out there. You see, most really good juicy stories might not be picked up by twitter for a few to a couple hours. If you want to find the really good stuff on twitter you won’t find it with authority but by the people who might not have any or little authority.

So if you think Authority is all that and more, I say it’s nothing to “write home about”. I just worry people will see this and start flocking to this system. Once people start searching by authority that will get people to want to be higher on this so called authority idea. So what will happen, people will want to get more authority and possibly buy Authority. This is a far far possible outcome of having this so called authority.

[ad#cricket-1]I don’t think it will happen once people see how flawed it is and see it. They will flocked to something else, you see that all the time on twitter. I will wait judgment on this new site and see how it goes but I don’t think it will work. One thing I wonder is the how this site will keep going with it just been created so rashly and without much thought. There has to be a revenue stream coming from somewhere? Could of been Loic who made the VC happen? I’ll let you decide for yourself although I think it points to him.

I think Scoble is thinking the same thing? Could of been something to make even more controversy or could it been just happen stance? What say you Robert?
