What is Twoogling?

February 26, 2009 By +Loren Baker, see all posts by

Today I invented a new word, Twoogling.

Google + Twitter = Twoogling

But what exactly is Twoogling?

The term came to mind when looking into Google opening their Twitter account at Twitter.com/google so I named the post Google Enters the Twitter Game : Google + Twitter = Twoogling?

Little did I expect that with some help from my Twitter friends, and especially @Mashable, the post took off like wildfire on Twitter. So much wildfire that is, that the word “Twoogling” trended on Twitter Search :

So, what is Twoogling?

Is it

  • Google Twittering on Twitter
  • Asking a question on Twitter and getting responses from your friends
  • Searching Twitter

    I think it’s #3. I often combine asking followers with googling at the same time. So I’m tweeting+googling=twoogling.

    Nice word. I like it.

    I think Twoogling is when you search using
    Twitter search as if it’s Google.

    Loren, isn’t Twoogling the name of Linkin Park’s new cd? You know you want it!

    Maybe a mix of twitter with wikipedia could be an improvement

    Any good articles on the linking value of social websites? Any chance Google will ignore those sites from rankings?
