In doing some local listing research for another post, I came across not only examples of Twitter as a citation, but Facebook and MySpace as well.  I hadn’t seen either of these mentioned as general sources of citations, so I thought I would make a note of it. It didn’t take long to find examples of a restaurant’s official Twitter page listed as a citation or a customer’s tweet as a citation. twitter-citation

That same restaurant in the first link is also credited with a citation for their Facebook page.  I was curious as to whether mentions of a business on other Facebook and MySpace pages were also being credited as citations along with their official pages, and wouldn’t you know it, they are.facebook-citation

It will be interesting to see the speed with which businesses are credited citations from these sources and their overall value compared to other accepted citation sources.
