Google Displays Tweets in Search Results

Google Displays Tweets in Search Results
The latest tweets coming from some relevant Twitter users have now begun to show up as tiny snippets on Google’s search results. The Twitter search results also features the user’s picture, name, date of posting and the entire message. If there are any links posted in tweets, these also carry high SERP’s.

Google seems to be just testing this feature, as no official announcement has been made as yet. Also, this same feature seems to only work or show up in the first few search results when a user has tweeted recently, although the exact timeframe hasn’t been made clear as yet.

Soshable recently conducted a survey and found that tweets that showed up within 2 seconds of being posted were typically displayed. Yes, Google is really fast, but is it that fast? As a result of this, Soshable came to the conclusion that Google has probably tied their search results directly with the Twitter API.
