Google signs with Twitter, Bing with Twitter and Facebook

The rumor that ran for some time about integrating Twitter in Bing and Google confirms. The two giants have indeed signed an agreement to implement directly in the search engine service based micro-blogging. Yusuf Mehdi, vice president of Internet at Microsoft said that the company signed a similar agreement with the EU network Facebook.

This initiative should help spur competition in the search market. The tweets, those famous messages limited to 140 characters on Twitter published, expected to get search results in real time, such a request in connection with a news event. Qi Lu, vice-chairman of the online services Microsoft declined to detail the various aspects of the contract but also confirms that this is a non-exclusive agreement. This summer, in partnership with Federated Media, the team had unofficially Bing experimented by creating bingtweets.com. On the official blog of the company, Marissa Meyer, vice chairman of the department of research at Google, said: "This way, the next time you search something that can be enriched by an observation in real time, as the quality of the snow on your favorite ski resort, you can find tweets published by other users who are present and share the latest news. "

Yahoo! has already implemented the results of Yahoo! Answers to boost its search engine. One imagines that if regulators trade give green light to the ten-year partnership signed between Carol Bartz and Steve Ballmer, the Yahoo! should also take advantage of this implementation since Bing become the search engine by default. Remember that other rumors also speculated on a possible partnership between Bing and Wolfram Alpha to integrate within the engine technology of semantic search further. Wolfram Alpha has also recently announced the opening of its API.
