Google’s Twitter Update Is About To Hit

Another reason if your not using twitter in your marketing, to do so.

I just got this email from WebPro news, thought I would pass this on.

Long story short, what you say and what others say about you on Twitter may start mattering a lot more.

Do you expect to benefit from Google's coming Twitter integration?

We learned in February that Google and Twitter struck a new deal that will see Google indexing tweets in real time. Initial reports indicated that tweets would become visible in Google's search results as soon as they're posted, starting in the first half of this year. Now, we've got a more specific time frame.

In a conference call to discuss Twitter's earnings, CEO Dick Costolo revealed that the integration will begin its roll-out next month. Given that April is just about over, that could potentially be as early as this week.

I don't have a specific date for you, but now I can at least give you a specific month,” said Costolo. And that Google deal is all about…that relationship is about driving our total audience strategy. The goal is that people consume content and engage with that content whether they log in or not.”

This sounds pretty interesting. I wonder if there will be an 'opt-out' option. Some people's Twitters are actually personal Twitters.
