Tweets To Appear In Google Search Results

Posted by Soulskill on from the social-Social-SOCIAL! dept.

mpicpp writes with news that Google will now begin showing tweets alongside search results. Mobile users searching via the Android/iOS apps or through the browser will start seeing the tweets immediately, while the desktop version is "coming shortly." The tweets will only be available for the searches in English to start, but Twitter says they'll be adding more languages soon.

    Am I the only one that seems to remember that GOOGLE ALREADY HAD THIS FEATURE years ago. Back in the earlier days of Buzz, your Buzz account could be connected to a Twitter account. Google would pull friend's tweets on a particular topic, and show them intermixed with search results. This was just another one of the brazzilion tweeks Google has added/removed/fuckedwith/whoknowswhatelse over the years, and I'm quite honestly surprised to see it make a comeback.
