Google adds Twitter, Facebook to search results

Google has begun adding real-time social media results to its search engine, pulling various feeds from Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

Google fellow Amit Singhal made the announcement at a press event held near the firm’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, on Monday.

“We are here today to announce Google real-time search,” he said. “This is the first time ever that a search engine has integrated the real-time web into the results page.”

Twitter messages and other fresh content will be made available on Google’s main search page in the next couple of days on all English language search sites in the coming days.

Google is also planning to incorporate real-time search in other languages beginning early next year.
