The Social Protocol For 10/21/09: A Good Day For Twitter
Biz Stone Still Making Big MovesBesides the horrible Kanye rumor that people think is funny that they haven't taken down YET....today has been a landmark day for the Bird company.
First, it was made official that Microsoft Bing would put status updates of Facebook and Twitter on their program. Biz Stone talked about it on their blog, which is still on a Blogger template, I might add!
We have a team focused on delivering value from a search and discovery perspective at Twitter and they're just getting started. Twitter is earning a reputation for delivering real-time results to queries about things that are happening right now. Moreover, there are already tens of thousands of Twitter apps and more to come because people want the choice to consume and create tweets wherever and whenever they prefer. The folks over at Bing took a keen interest in Twitter and worked fast to establish a working relationship with us in line with our open approach.Then, here comes this news about a search deal with Google not so long as this post was published.
Not a bad 24 hours for Twitter, at all.
Would be even better if they took that crazy Kanye RIP stuff down though.
