Mere hours after today’s announcement that Twitter would now be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine, Google has annouced that it too will include Twittter updates in its own search results. Marissa Mayer, Google VP of Search Products and User Experience, writes in a company blog post
Given this new type of information and its value to search, we are very excited to announce that we have reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results. We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months. That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you’ll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.
It’s worth noting that while Bing’s Twitter search is live today, it sounds like Google will be working Twitter’s data into its search results over the next few months.
The next question is whether or not Google will get access to Facebook’s stream of real-time updates (Microsoft announced deals with both Twitter and Facebook at today’s Web 2.0 Summit). Neither of Microsoft’s deals with Twitter and Facebook are exclusive, which leaves the door open for Google to pair up with Facebook as well. But Google and Facebook have butted heads in the past. And Microsoft has a long history with Facebook: the company supplements Facebook’s search with Bing results, and it controls a small stake in the company after investing$240 million at a sky-high $15 billion valuation back in late 2007.

Twitter Signs Search Deals with Microsoft and Google
Microsoft also adds Facebook to Bing searches.
Twitter has announced new deals with Microsoft and Google to integrate tweets into standards search results.
The company used the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco to announce that it had signed a deal to allow searching of tweets by both Microsoft’s Bing search engine.
In addition Microsoft has announced a similar deal to allow searching of Facebook results using the Bing engine.
“Today at Web 2.0 we announced that working with those clever birds over at Twitter, we now have access to the entire public Twitter feed and have a beta of Bing Twitter search for you to play with (in the US, for now). The Bing and Twitter teams want to know what you think,” said Paul Yiu on Microsoft’s Bing Social Search Team.
Twitter content will also be appearing on Google’s Search Engine results in a similar deal announced today.
“Our friends down in Mountain View want to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful,” said Twitter on the company’s blog site.
“A fast growing amount of information is coursing through Twitter very quickly, and we want there to be many ways to access that information. As part of that effort, we've partnered with Google to index the entire world of public tweets as fast as possible and present them to their users in an organised and relevant fashion.”
Twitter results will be added to Bing engine today and Google will integrate them in the next few months.
“At Google, our goal is to create the most comprehensive, relevant and fast search in the world,” said Marissa Mayer, vice president of Search Products and User Experience at Google.
“In the past few years, an entirely new type of data has emerged — real-time updates like those on Twitter have appeared not only as a way for people to communicate their thoughts and feelings, but also as an interesting source of data about what is happening right now in regard to a particular topic.”
