Are you implying that they are going to be inside of the chat response

I'm a product manager working on code.you.com. This is good feedback and an interesting suggestion. We'll work on adding those special characters, variables and casing to make the search better for coding.

We're just getting started but working really hard to make this something special. There is a fairly active slack community if you have any other suggestions and want to share. thx.

Social search has been attempted so many times.

Google tried it in 2009, failed. Microsoft tried it in 2013, failed. Startups across the board have tried it.

I think it is because "social" usually implies to a user that they are searching for a person, not the content they create. And previously, there wasn't a ton of UGC that was relevant to a query.

Disclaimer: I'm a You.com employee working on search.

The next Google 4 years ago

This is one of the reasons I love working for You.com.

SEO is killing Google and it needs to be addressed before it kills the internet. Having the opportunity to build an app that solves a search, instead of perpetuating a spam system, has been really rewarding... and we're just getting started.

The United States is not a corporation or a startup and should not be treated as such.

Twitter is an American company, and is publicly traded as such. They have a responsibility to appease shareholders. This isn't really about politics at all, or patriotism, it's about money.
