I do a lot of Twitter searches for that kind of thing when I want raw feedback about a particular topic.

I've had a 't' custom search engine address bar hotkey for Twitter for years.

Kind of interesting how searching social network content can often be more useful than searching the entire Internet.

Edit: makes me wonder if the web is evolving in the direction of more social/curated search, less global search

Yeah, social media is just too easy to use (and free). When people take the time to make a website, they often commercialize it, then it's not really a personal website anymore.
