Does anyone have any information on Google and Bing planning to include Twitter posts within their searches?
As of right now, I don't think there has been an official date announced for when Google or Bing will start displaying Twitter updates in their search results - but it sounds like it will happen soon.. FWIW - I read in some outlets that the inclusion of tweets in Google search results could be available in a couple of months.
Bing recently unveiled a beta version of its dedicated Twitter search , but this will only return content from Twitter. Eventually they will get around to integrating tweets into their standard search results.
This sounds really bizarre or will it be in a seperate search function?
I'm not sure how it will exactly be integrated, but Google gave the following example on it's official blog - "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."
