In my previous post, I described the components of your web search experience and the principles behind creating a great search experience.

Ireland based Tweetrush, a new analytics service around Twitter, launched a few minutes ago.

Total Twitter usage according to TweetRush is approximately 850,000 messages per day, which is far less than the 3 million/day that we reported on in late April.
