With US Corporate’s such as P&G now willing to pay for advertising based on Customer engagement and the birth of the real-time web as a viable form of marketing for companies, is it any wonder that people who used to turn to Google for the latest information now turn to Twitter search instead .
It therefore really comes as no real surprise Google is about to unveil social search in an attempt to protect its online monopoly BUT perhaps more interesting is the news that very soon Bing will have access to all of twitters search feed so you will be able to search Bing for public tweets which is a pretty major coup for Microsoft.
