I had a similar experience. I am in the market for a new fridge. Instead of "googling it", like my boyfriend did while sitting right next to me, I tweeted a poll question to my followers as well as my Facebook wall. In a matter of minutes, I got real tangible stories and reasons for likes and dislikes. First, it came from my friends and network, so I trusted the advice, and I got short and sweet reasons without having to sift through everything.

I am with you - I think we are on to a new thing, but I don't think it can ever wipe out Google, maybe just an alternative.

Interesting and thanks for the comments Kit. I'm curious as to what you mean by the distinction between "customer friendly experience" vs. "tool to acquire information." What is the contrast you're trying to draw here?

I smell a few dissertation topics there. Someone ought to get involved at their alma mater again.

Google are not providing an experience that is customer friendly, they merely provide a tool that is used to aquire information. It would be irresponsible and dangerous of any internet based company to think that they command the same level of loyalty that a high street shop does. The anonymous nature of any internet business dictates that it is judged entirely on its effectivenessand the effot required to change internet habits is minimal.
