With the popularity of TikTok, it has also led to a change in how users use it, as well as at the same time showing a change in the usage patterns of a number of other services.
One of them is search related. While Google is still a popular search engine, young people are starting to do alternative searches using social media, including TikTok.
For example, many are now starting to use TikTok to find interesting locations or restaurants to visit. The same goes for a number of other suggestions - including interesting books to read, interesting vacation locations, and so on.
This is also possible because Google searches sometimes don’t display the latest info for a number of rising trends-other than some sites that are more optimized for SEO, and don’t display full content like TikTok.
Apart from TikTok, many also use Twitter as a search engine to get the latest information-especially on the latest news.
With these developments, will we be using social media more as a search engine, and less using the already popular Google?
