Twitter Limits Searches On Site ... Why?

摘要

Two Twitter questions have been nagging at me: Why on Earth would Twitter limit the number of searches a user may conduct - a typical, relatively new user, such as me, not some piggy third-party app or bot? And, why on Earth would one of the most talked-about properties on the Internet make it so darn difficult to get an answer to such simple question? Let's start with the first question: On a recent Friday afternoon I was doing what Twitter insists it wants me to do, namely trying to find friends and acquaintances who are also Twitter users so that we can "follow" each others "tweets," those tiny little messages that consume no more than 140 characters.Twitter provides a search box expressly for this purpose.
