Google has reportedly removed much of Twitter’s links from its search results after the social network’s owner Elon Musk announced reading tweets would be limited.
Search Engine Roundtable found that Google had removed 52% of Twitter links since the crackdown began last week. Twitter now blocks users who are not logged in and sets limits on reading tweets.
According to Barry Schwartz, Google reported 471 million Twitter URLs as of Friday. But by Monday morning, that number had plummeted to 227 million.
“For normal indexing of these Twitter URLs, it seems like these tweets are dropping out of the sky,” Schwartz wrote.
Platformer reported last month that Twitter refused to pay its bill for Google Cloud services.
Now do Quora.
Quora has to be one of the most useless, misdirecting “resources” out there. No idea how much of this changes once you make an account, but every single question is filled up with ads and other people’s responses to other questions. It looks so confusing and messy. Who would want to sign up for a site that seems so disjointed?
There was a time when quora was genuinely interesting/useful as an a2a site for all your ‘expert opinion’ questions. Now it’s just another social media
All signing up for Quora gets you is email roundups that keep coming no matter how many times you unsubscribe.
And Pinterest. I want my quality searches back.
Use google and add “site:Pinterest.com” then search by images. Works better than Pinterest. Also works for Poshmark.
Good advice except you forgot the minus symbol, this tip will ONLY get Pinterest links.
