Yahoo! deal with Twitter offers more than social search

Yahoo! has partnered with Twitter to integrate the popular microblogging service across the board into various aspects of its product range. This partnership takes a different direction to Google’s deal with Twitter and Microsoft’s incorporation of BingTweets , which saw both companies including real-time tweets in their search results last year. As well as incorporating a real-time Twitter feed into Yahoo! search results, the company’s deal takes things a great deal further, with the Telegraph observing that “Yahoo! has effectively made itself a Twitter client, as Yahoo! users will be able to tweet from multiple locations across Yahoo!’s products.” The search integration went live yesterday, but it has not yet been made clear how Yahoo! will proceed to incorporate tweets into its diverse portfolio of services - including Yahoo!

Mapping the tube strike through Twitter

Drivers on the London Underground are striking for 48 hours over three days in protest at the possibility of real term pay cuts over the next five years and the prospect of up to 4000 jobs being lost in compulsory redundancies.
