The results from Facebook would depend on who your Facebook friends are, while searching for twitter hash tags shows results from all users.

To say "facebook was full of junk" when comparing to twitter is a bit unfair.

re facebook - fair comment

re twitter - most comments came through via people im following - didnt search the hastag till later

mainly trying to understand why g+ didnt do as good as i expected it to do

i rally like g+ and was hoping the good info would be there right away - but twitter won the race

I guess it really highlights just how good twitter is. It will be interesting to see if g+ catch up by the next melbourne earthquake (2013?).

agreed - at the moment twitter is better for real time location specific news - than g+, fb, or newspapers

i like g+ alot so hopefully it catches up - just not hoping for any more earthquakes any time soon :)
