Twitter is planning to bring your tweets to real time searches of both Google and Microsoft’s Bing. Twitter is separately in talks with both the search engines to foster the search results with its “data-mining deal”.
The deal if stamped will allow full Twitter’s feed to be incorporated into the search results of both the contending search engines remunerating microblogging service with several million dollars plus a revenue-sharing proposal from its search results.
Competing with each other in the search battle, search engine giant Google and yet number third search engine Bing earns quite a big share of revenue and Twitter’s management has decided to be unbiased by signing a non-exclusive deal, thus providing a door open for Yahoo to license Twitter’s feed to robust its search results, as the report from the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital Blog says.
But yes there lies an uncertainty with this deal, may be the agreement won’t be finalized. As an alternate Twitter is seeking to create a large open platform, which many could plug into, from search engines to marketers to publishers to developers.
None among the trio has commented on the news.
The deal would provide Twitter an add-on to its revenue department that too without putting any taxation axe on its users.
