Official Google Blog: Replay it: Google search across the Twitter archive

I just spent some time playing with the new Replay feature on Google. This is really exciting. I can't wait for the full history of Twitter to be loaded. Then the fun will really begin.

So, what does this mean for your brand? Think of the research possibilities around old PR and marketing campaigns, either by your company or a competitor. Need to know what the chatter around a particular product or concept was last Thanksgiving so you can plan for next year? What about just seeing the chatter around your company name through the history of Twitter. Are you doing a good job of keeping your brand name alive and fresh?

It's time to put some coffee to boil and dive into some serious research.

There are mystical, giant catfish that swim in my drinking water - the3six5's posterous

Last week I had the distinct honor of contributing to a very noble blogging project called The3six5 - - 365 authors will record all 365 days of 2010. Each day is from the unique perspective of its author. I remember writing last January about the project and worrying that I would have nothing interesting on my day to talk about. But alas I found my subject right in my backyard (photo above).

Please click on the photo and read not only my contribution to the3six5 about the environment and the water we drink, but follow it for the rest of the year. I am fascinated each day to see who will write and what they will write about.
